DESCRIPTION:
An Egyptian legend in which twin sisters who lived 2000 years ago were changed forever when they participated in a temple ritual reenacting the lives of Isis and Osiris.
The narrator also explains the origins of music, corn, and chocolate. In Land of the Five Suns, Stone Turtle uses Creation myths and tales of Aztec gods to distract his younger brother, Two Rabbit Leaping Frog, in order to keep him out of trouble. In Isis, set 2000 years ago, twins Taous and Thaues are rescued from poverty by an Egyptian priest, with the hope that they will play the parts of Isis and her sister Nephthys in a re-enactment of the burial of Osiris. This story is set in the early 1500s, just as Spaniards and Aztecs were encountering one another for the first time. From School Library JournalGr 6-8--Two novelizations of classic myths. Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell the original storie
"mythology" according to Martha Boltares. This is a collectors item book for any true collector of mythology. It reveals more detail to the ancient gods of Egypt. I would definitely recommend it.
