520			_aMany people are fascinated by the ancient Egyptians and yet find them to be mysterious, distant and alien. The ancient Egyptians had a great diversity of religious beliefs and a diversity of myths. To have a basic understanding of the ancient Egyptians it is necessary to know the Ennead. The Ennead is a group of nine gods worshiped at Helioipolis in ancient Egypt. (The word "Ennead" is derived from a Greek word meaning "nine.") The Ennead is composed of Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys. The story of the Ennead is told in this book and it provides essential basic knowledge that will enable the reader to comprehend ancient Eyptian beliefs, culture, traditions and religious practices. The Ennead is one of the oldest stories in the world going back to around 2,500 years before Christ. The Ennead is one of the most important myths from ancient Egypt. It is the story of King Osiris the vindicated, the beloved enchantress Isis and Horus the avenger. The story of the Ennead presents the Egyptian view of creation, the struggle between good and evil and the nature of the afterlife.--cover.
