Historical Deception: The Untold Story of Ancient Egypt Review
I came to read ths book, after a constant FEELING that what we take for granted as the truth about Ancient Egypt, is actually FAR from it.
It is fair to say that Moustafa has brought to Life the REAL Egypt. He has plenty of facts and figures to prove his belief too. What is more, he is a writer of BRILLIANT CLARITY, who turns the often stuffy subject of History into a RIVETING read.
I wish that this book could go on to great success, as it is a story that would(and should) REVOLUTIONISE our ideas of the Past.
Lest you think, I am easily impressed. It is worth noting that on occasion I do disagree with the Author. Particularly in his deduction that ATLANTIS did not provide the seeds of the Civilization we know as Ancient Egypt.
All in all however, here is a FIRST-RATE book, that will challenge your pre-conceptions, and force you to look again at one of the Great Mysteries...

Just more monotheistic propaganda - Tristan S M - Mexico City
This is another book of an author dedicated to create an spurious history of Egypt, with no historic or academic basis, just bad quality imagination.
He tries to fit a great Polytheistic Religion into the absurdities of his monotheistic concordance prejudice.
If you read this book take in account that you are NOT reading anything related to Egyptian Religion, you will go just thru a bad fairy tale that tries to connect the three actual monotheistic religions, judaism, christianism and islam, with the infinitely superior Egyptian Cosmogony and Cosmology.
There are many good books in Amazon.com related to true Egyptian Religion, both academic and mystical.
Avoid all the Gadalla crap.
Great for Beginners - RD - Toronto, Ontario Canada
I found this book great for beginners. It provides a NON-Euro centric view of Egypt/Kemet. Too many books on Kemet written my those with religious agendas. Moustafa does a good job of informing the reader about Kemet in a quick, easy to read format. I do wish he had more information on Pre-Dynastic Kemet, but that info is hard to come by. His research on origins of David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus and the hoax called Exodus actually jives with much of my research on these mythical characters. Overall, the book shows Kemet in a different light than the most of us have been told by the Biblical stories. If one is more advanced in their research on Kemet - this book is not for you. Hotep!
Truth in Labeling - -
Refreshing to see a book properly labeled, though it also should have included "sophomoric", "illogical", "unfounded" and "neurotic, Anti-West fantasy". All the editorial reviews can only have been written by the author himself or at his direction, since they do nothing but quote from the book, or press materials released with the book.
No rational person, with any hint of logical insight coupled with the slightest level of historical knowledge would ever be so reckless as to suggest that the pre-Ahab characters of the Old Testament were Egyptian, much less pharaohs. Indeed, the author's first task in such an assertion must now-a-days actually be to provide ANY physical evidence that those ancient Hebrews were something other than the literary tools of (Omrite) Judean political agenda!
If you want real Egyptian history instead of fabrication, get "Ancient Egypt" (David Silverman, ed.) and for facts about biblical connectivity get "Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times" by Donald Redford.
"E" is for Evidence - Barb Perk - Yankton, SD USA
This book is a complete(and yet, somehow revolutionary)reference to the true daily lives of the ancient Egyptians. What I mean when I say "revolutionary" is. . .well, it strays away from the beliefs of some historians and Egyptologists, then adds evidence which points out that what the book describes is true. But it compares history with religion at one point and it was quite touchy for me there, which is why I give this otherwise wonderful book but three stars.
