Legends from ancient Egypt - of gods, magic and adventure. These stories include the great myths, and take us back to the dawn of the world when Ra, the greatest god of all, created the earth and all the creatures in it. From the formation of the Sphinx to the search for the mystical Book of Thoth, these tales brilliantly re-create a fascinating world long vanished.
