Student Question:What, if anything, did you gain by reading this book? (even if What I gained by reading this book was a lot of knowledge of Egyptian culture, mythology, and history. In this book, the characters refer to the "House of Life" many times throughout the story, which was a real thing in the ancient times of Egypt (even if, in reality, the so-called "magicians" in the House may not have had real magic, as they were represented in the book). Many of the Egyptian gods and goddesses are present in the book and almost always have their backstories explained in detail and the role they have as a god (ex: Ra; the sun god). The book also explains what many Ancient Egyptian terms mean (ex: Aten - the physical manifestation of the sun--as well as the Duat - a magical realm in Egyptian mythology).
