| ANCIENT EGYPT AND NUBIA [Helen Whitehouse] This title presents a comprehensive visual selection of the Ashmolean's collections of artefacts from Ancient Egypt and Nubia, reflecting the range of media and artistic styles used in over 5000 years of Egyptian Craftsmanship. { ca150pp, 155x230mm, March 2007; PB, £7.95, 1854442023:9781854442024 / HB, £11.95, 1854442015 , Ashmolean Museum } |
| EDEN IN EGYPT : A Translation of the Book of Genesis From the Original Egyptian Text [Ralph Ellis] The story of Adam and Eve from the Book of Genesis is perhaps one of the best known stories in circulation, even today, and yet nobody really knows where this tale came from or what it means. But even a cursory glance at the text will demonstrate the origins of this tale, for the river of Eden is described as having four branches. There is only one river in this part of the world that fits this description, and that is the Nile; with the four branches forming the Nile Delta. Here, then, is the true crucible for the Genesis story -- Egypt. We already know that Judaism was based upon the reign of the pharaoh Akhenaton, because the solitary Judaic god was known as Adhon while this pharaoh's solitary god was called Aton or Adjon. But on reading the early chapters of Genesis with a more critical eye, it became apparent that this story was simply a retelling of Pharaoh Akhenaton's 'Hymn to the Aton'. Again we know that the early Israelites knew of the Hymn to the Aton because a section is also included in Psalms. But what of the identities of Adam and Eve? The pathway towards enlightenment was illuminated by the discovery that Hebrew was based upon the ancient Egyptian language. This would actually make a great deal of common-sense, as the Israelites were once the leaders of Egypt and would originally have spoken Egyptian. (Joseph, according to the Bible, was prime minister of all Egypt). It seems certain that Adam and Eve were actually Pharaoh Akhenaton and his famous wife Queen Nefertiti. The nickname of Adam was used because Adam means 'red', and Akhenaton was the king of Lower Egypt and wore the Red Crown. In a similar fashion, Khavah (Eve) received her pseudonym because the name means 'naked' and 'swollen' in the Egyptian. Adam and Eve were famed for their innocent nakedness, and yet it is known that Akhenaton and Nefertiti also lived in an idyllic state of near nakedness and were curiously depicted with swollen limbs. The story of the downfall of Adam and Eve is a reflection of the downfall of this Egyptian royal couple, for Akhenaton and Nefertiti were deposed. Their fate is not precisely known, but it would seem likely from the various accounts that they went into exile in the north of Egypt and thus their fall from grace was every bit as dramatic and humiliating as that of Adam and Eve. And yes, when forced from their idyllic existence in the palace at Amarna, Akhenaton and Nefertiti would have been faced with the gaping throngs of the common people, and would have been forced to clothe themselves. Here then, is the story of Adam and Eve. It was not a tale about the beginning of the Universe, instead it was the traditional celebration of a new day, which brought new life. It was not a story about the first couple on Earth, it was a history of the life of the 'first couple', just as the US president's wife is known as the 'first lady'. { 336pp, 155x235mm, October 2004; PB, £12.00, 0953191397:9780953191390 , Amolibros (EDFU Books) } |

| ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE CENTRAL SINAI, EGYPT [Frank W Eddy, Fred Wendorf and Associates] This volume details the findings of a reconnaissance survey of seventy-five archaeological sites and the subsequent excavation of ten representative sites on the Sinai Peninsula. Based on field work conducted in 1996 by the Combined Prehistoric Expedition (SPE) in the upper Wadi Grafi Basin, An Archaeological Investigation of the Central Sinai, Egypt, sheds further light on the Timnian Tradition of the southern Levant, one of the earliest (7000-3000 B.P.) nomadic pastoral cultures described to date.

| EGYPT VS GREECE AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY [Molefi Kete Asante and Ama Mazama, Editors] Debating the development of civilisation in Egypt and Greece, this collection of essays explores European misconceptions of African history. Featuring contributions from some of the top scholars in African American studies, this book analyses the inconsistencies erupting from academic and Eurocentric reports on ancient culture. For example, if the pyramids were built in 2800BC and Greek civilisation began around 700BC, how could the Greeks have contributed or taught Africans maths and science? And if the Greeks built pyramids in Egypt, why did they not build a few in Greece? These questions and more are raised in this informative collection. { 200pp, 140x215mm, April 2002; PB, £12.99, 0913543772:9780913543771 , IPG (African American Images) } |

| EGYPTIAN DIVINITIES : The All Who are One [Moustafa Gadalla] The Egyptian concept of God is based on recognizing the multiple attributes (gods, goddesses) of the Divine.

| EGYPTIAN MYSTICS : Seekers of the Way [Moustafa Gadalla] This book explains how Ancient Egypt is the origin of alchemy and present-day Sufism, and how the mystics of Egypt camouflage their practices with a thin layer of Islam. The book also explains the progression of the mystical Way towards enlightenment, with a coherent explanation of its fundamentals and practices.

It also provides the evidence that Ancient Egypt is the source of the Christian calendar of holidays (ex: Easter, Last Supper, Christmas, Lent, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Epiphany, Transfiguration, etc). { 192pp, 155x230mm, February 2003; PB, £10.50, 1931446059:9781931446051 , Tehuti Research Foundation } |
| EGYPTIAN PHILOSOPHERS : Ancient African Voices from Imhotep to Akhenaten [Molefi Kente Asante] Traditional Eurocentric thought assumes that Greece was the origin of civilisation. This book dispels this and other myths by showing that there is a body of knowledge that preceded Greek philosophy. The author documents how the great pyramids were built in 2800 BC, 2,100 years before Greek civilisation. The popular myth of Hippocrates being the father of medicine is dispelled by the fact that Hippocrates studied the works of Imhotep, the true father of medicine, and mentioned his name in his Hippocratic oath. Eleven famous African scholars who preceded Greek philosophers are profiled: Ptahhotep, Kagemni, Duauf, Amenhotep, Amenemope, Imhotep, Amenemhat, Merikare, Sehotepibre, Khunanup, and Akhenaten. These scholars' ideas on a variety of topics are discussed, including the emergence of science and reason, the moral order, books and education, and the clash of classes. { 175pp, 140x215mm, March 2000; PB, £12.99, 0913543667:9780913543665 , IPG (African American Images) } |

| EMBROIDERIES AND SAMPLERS ISLAMIC EGYPT [Marianne Ellis] One of the world's most important collections of medieval Islamic embroideries is to be found in the Department of Eastern Art in Oxford University's Ashmolean Museum. The textiles were collected by the Egyptologist Percy Newberry between 1900 and 1930, while he was living in Cairo. Most of the embroideries were made in Egypt or Syria, they were mainly used as dress items and domestic furnishings, but the collection also has a number of samplers. Much of the material is now fragmentary, but the embroidered designs are still clearly visible. The richness of patterns and the technical brilliance of the majority of pieces make the collection a treasure trove for textile scholars and embroidery enthusiasts alike. The 66 examples of embroideries illustrated are from the Tulunid period (AD868-905), the Fatamid period (AD969-1171), the Ayyubid period (AD1171-1249), and the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria, ending with the Ottoman Conquest in 1517 and demonstrate the wide variety of embroidery stitches and techniques already in use at that time. A large proportion are worked in geometric design but there are also examples of scrolling and Arabesque design, figurative motifs such as birds, animals and fish, and calligraphy. It is possible that some of the comparatively simple open-work techniques were imported to Italy via trade and became the basis for the development of needlelace in Europe.

| FIGHTING PHARAOHS : Weapons and Warfare in Ancient Egypt [Robert B Partridge] The image of a Pharaoh smiting the enemies of Egypt is a recurring one, appearing for the first time around 3100 BC and continuing until the time when Egypt was a province of Rome, ruled by Roman Emperors. Unification of the country under the first Pharaoh was probably achieved by force and by the time of the New Kingdom, around 1400 BC, Egypt ruled a huge Empire, won and sustained by regular military campaigns. This book draws together in one volume the history and description of weapons and warfare and the military activities of the Pharaohs, from the earliest dynastic times until the Roman period. It will appeal to the increasing numbers of people who have been captivated by this fascinating country, from those whose interest in the subject is new to those who are more knowledgeable. The book is illustrated with images of Egypt and also from museums throughout the world. It begins by identifying the friends and foes of the Ancient Egyptians and then takes the reader through the wide range of weapons used, showing how they developed over time and how foreign innovations such as the use of horses and chariots were eagerly adopted and adapted. Subsequent chapters look at the life and training of a new recruit, the structure of the army, what soldiers did when they were not on campaigns and the realities and dangers of a soldier's life. The final chapters look at fortifications and the art of siege warfare, and at the series of campaigns of the Pharaohs, from the Predynastic Period to the time of the Romans. The major campaigns of the great Warrior Pharaohs of the New Kingdom, such as Thutmose III and Ramesses II are covered in more detail. The book can also be read as an introduction to the history of the country and gives a glimpse into the successes and failures of the Pharaohs as military commanders. { 336pp, 195x240mm, December 2002; PB, £17.80, 0954349725:9780954349721 / HB, £23.80, 0954349733 , Empire Publications } |
| GODDESS SEKHMET : Psycho-Spiritual Exercises of the Fifth Way [Robert Masters] Robert Masters presents the wisdom of ancient Egypt through the perspective of contemporary research in psychology and religious studies in his profound study of The Goddess Sekhmet: Psycho-Spiritual Exercises of the Fifth Way. The fifth way refers to the Egyptian theory that humans consist of five bodies: the (most subtle) Spiritual Body (Egyptian: Sahu); and, after that, the increasingly less subtle: Magical Body (Khu); Shadow (Haidit); Double (Ka); and Physical Body (Aufu). Also included are Sekhmet's myth, her hundred Sacred Names, as well as her rites of meditation, prayer and exercises in body movement, awareness, mind expansion, imagination and creativity. This book initiates readers into a direct experience of the lost feminine mysteries. { 238pp, 155x230mm, October 2002; PB, £12.50, 1883991455:9781883991456 / HB, £19.50, 188399148X , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |
| HATHOR RISING : The Secret Power of Ancient Egypt [Alison Roberts] Drawing together temple art, myths, rituals and poetry, “Hathor Rising” reveals a rich tradition of feminine divinity. It explores how the sexual polarity of Hathor and the sun god manifests in the Pharaoh's life' as well as Hathor's connection with Isis and the moon cults. The serpent cult was given a new impetus by Hatshepsut, the innovative female Pharaoh whose remarkable reign, early in the 15th century BC, laid the foundations for the cultural splendour of New Kingdom Egypt. Ecstatic, musical, heart-centred -- the serpent tradition was interrupted only by the reign of Akhenaten who suppressed much of the serpent cult in favour of a trinitarian father god. { 186pp, 185x235mm, January 1995; PB, £13.99, 0952423308:9780952423300 , Four Corners (Northgate Publishers) } |
| HISTORICAL DECEPTION : The Untold Story of Ancient Egypt [Moustafa Gadalla] This book reveals the ingrained prejudices against ancient Egypt, from both the religious groups, who deny that Egypt is the source of their creed, and western rationalists, who deny the existence of science and philosophy prior to the Greeks. The book contains 47 chapters, with many interesting topics, such as the Egyptian medical knowledge about determining the sex of the unborn, and much, much more. { 351pp, 140x215mm, July 1999; PB, £16.50, 096525092X:9780965250924 , Tehuti Research Foundation } |
| JESUS, LAST OF THE PHARAOHS, REVISED EDITION : A Study of Biblical and Egyptological Records, Redefining The Biblical Patriarchs [Ralph Ellis] There is good evidence to be found within the Bible, Torah and Koran that indicates that the biblical patriarchs were pharaohs of Egypt, they were not poor shepherds but the Hyksos Shepherd pharaohs of Egypt. The biblical exodus was therefore the Hyksos exodus from Egypt, a historical event where some half a million people evacuated Egypt after a civil war with the Theban pharaohs. Having found the biblical Saul in the historical record, it became apparent that there were some 'new' historical references to the biblical Jesus. Jesus was descended from this Hyksos royal vine, a Hyksos prince in exile. He was the governor of Tiberias, the rebel leader who led an army trying to save Jerusalem from the rebel Jewish factions and he died in AD65 after the revolt failed -- some thirty years after the presumed crucifixion. Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs is a new and fantastic adventure through the Biblical texts, with dramatic re-interpretations of the old creed at every twist and turn in the story. Yet despite the unbelievable nature of some of these claims, the fact is that all of the arguments in this book are fully supported by the established Biblical and historical texts. Theologians and historians cannot argue with the underlying thesis in this book: it is written in black and white -- they can only dispute the radical interpretation being placed upon those texts. { 340pp, 155x235mm, September 2001; PB, £10.00, 0953191370:9780953191376 , Amolibros (EDFU Books) } |
| K2, QUEST OF THE GODS [Ralph Ellis] Explains the design of the Great Pyramid in great detail and it appears that its architect has specified a structure that contains a curious blend of technology, lateral thinking and childish fun yet this design can also point out the exact location of the legendary Hall of Records' to within a few meters. The X marks the spot location has been found at last.

| MY HEART MY MOTHER : Death and Rebirth in Ancient Egypt [Alison Roberts] This book explores the pivotal place of the fiery serpent-eye goddess, Hathor-Sekmet, in the mysteries of Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead. Weaving together myths, rituals and temple art, it recreates the craft world of ancient Memphis, with its heart-centred religion and vitalising feminine divinities. The author reveals the rich and complex temple life of New Kingdom Egypt in a compelling account of the soul's return to primal origins in the Ancestor Ritual, a little known royal death and rebirth ceremony. “My Heart My Mother” breaks new ground with its analysis of Egyptian sacred architecture. Seti I's temple at Abydos is shown to be an image of heaven, built to correspond with the cosmic 'maps' of living and dying depicted on the remarkable Nut ceilings in Theban royal tombs. Each part of the Abydos temple is a focus for transformation in the ancestral rites. Despite great social changes this heart wisdom continued long after the rule of Pharaohs ended. The book traces its profound influence in alchemy, presenting fresh evidence to support the alchemists' own belief in the Egyptian roots of their tradition. { 265pp, 185x235mm, January 2000; PB, £16.99, 0952423316:9780952423317 , Four Corners (Northgate Publishers) } |

| STOLEN LEGACY : Greek Philosophy is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy [George G M James] Challenging the notion that civilisation started in Greece, this uncompromising classic attempts to prove that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not Greeks but Egyptians. The text asserts that the praise and honour blindly given to the Greeks for centuries rightfully belong to the people of Africa, and argues that the theft of this great African legacy led to the erroneous world opinion that the African continent has made no contribution to civilisation. Quoting such celebrated Greek scholars as Herodotus, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Thales, and Pythagoras, who admit to the influence of Egyptian studies in their work, this edition sheds new light on traditional philosophical and historical thought. Originally published in 1954, this book features a new introduction. { 192pp, 155x230mm, April 2002; PB, £11.50, 0913543780:9780913543788 , IPG (African American Images) } |
| THOTH : Architect of The Universe, Revised Edition [Ralph Ellis] While researching the metrology of the megalithic monuments of Britain and Egypt, Ellis made an important and previously unnoticed observation. Many of the megalithic monuments of the world, including Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid, can be viewed as being maps of the earth. These maps are verifiable as being designed in this fashion because they include within their structure the latitudes of specific topographical features on the surface of the earth. The architect of these monuments was making maps, the only thing now to be found is where the X marks the spot was placed... The ancient monument builders were constructing technical messages for the future, messages like the mathematical constant pi above. Thoth, Architect of the Universe has gone beyond this simple observation and found evidence of maps carved into the very fabric and design of these great megalithic monuments. Structures like the great henge of Avebury are quite obvious in their cartographical design, others, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, are less obvious. Nevertheless, all of these monuments can be seen to be maps of our Earth, maps that date from the Neolithic age. { 280pp, 155x235mm, September 2001; PB, £10.00, 0953191354:9780953191352 , Amolibros (EDFU Books) } |
| TUT-ANKH-AMEN : The Living Image of the Lord [Moustafa Gadalla] This book provides the overwhelming evidence from archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Talmud, and the Bible itself, that Tut-Ankh-Amen was the historical character of Jesus. The book examines the details of Tut's birth, life, death, resurrection, family roots, religion, teachings, etc., which were duplicated in the biblical account of Jesus. The book also reveals the world's greatest conspiracy and cover-up, that re-created the character of Jesus, living in another time (Roman era) and another place (Palestine, Israel.) { 144pp, 140x215mm, December 1997; PB, £7.99, 0965250997:9780965250993 , Tehuti Research Foundation } |
