Overview

Ancient Egyptian myths retold as living stories-where silence, symbolism, and timeless wisdom unfold through word and image. This is not simply a collection of ancient myths. It is a book for readers who sense that something essential from the past still speaks to the present. In ancient Egypt, stories were more than tales; they were ways of thinking, feeling, and understanding existence itself. Myths offered insight into life and death, fate and free will, the divine, and the unseen forces shaping the human journey. They were not meant to explain the universe through facts, but to help people remain connected to meaning, order, and their own inner compass. Told through poetic storytelling, quiet reflection, and original hand-drawn illustrations, Mysteries of the Sands invites readers into the inner world of these ancient narratives-where image and word work together, and where wisdom is not instructed, but remembered. Across nine mythic tales, gods and mortals, chaos and balance, creation and renewal unfold in a contemplative voice. Each story is preceded by a short, thought-provoking reflection, opening a space for curiosity rather than conclusions, and gently linking ancient insight to questions that still shape our lives today. Alongside the stories, readers will find historical context, source references, a glossary, and a map of Ancient Egypt-grounding the myths in their cultural and historical origins, while allowing their deeper, symbolic meaning to resonate beyond time. Written for readers drawn to symbolic storytelling, this book speaks to those who feel that modern life often moves faster than understanding, and that ancient wisdom still has relevance-not as doctrine, but as a quiet reminder. A window into an ancient world-and a mirror for the modern soul.
