E.A. Wallis Budge’s The Gods of the Egyptians, Volume 1 (1904) is a comprehensive, heavily illustrated 600+ page study of ancient Egyptian pantheons, covering high gods, local deities, demons, and mythology. It explores the evolution of cults, the Osirian resurrection myth, and the origins of magical, religious beliefs. The work is considered a cornerstone of Egyptology, utilizing primary texts from monuments and tombs, although some interpretations reflect early 20th-century scholarship.
