What reading level is The Religion of Ancient Egypt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each city appears to have but one god belonging toit, to whom others were added. Similarly in Babylonia each great cityhad its supreme god; and the combinations of those, and theirtransformations in order to form them in {5} groups when their homeswere politically united, show how essentially they were solitarydeities at first.
Not only must we widely distinguish the demonology of races worshippingnumerous earth spirits and demons, from the theology of races devotedto solitary great gods; but w...e must further distinguish the varyingideas of the latter class. Most of the theologic races have noobjection to tolerating the worship of other gods side by side withthat of their own local deity. It is in this way that the compoundtheologies built up the polytheism of Egypt and of Greece. But othersof the theologic races have the conception of 'a jealous god, ' whowould not tolerate the presence of a rival. We cannot date thisconception earlier than Mosaism, and this idea struggled hard againstpolytheistic toleration.
