The Sky Religion in Egypt by G.A. Wainwright
Publication: 1938 Cambridge University Press First Edition
Gerald A. Wainwright was a British Egyptologist and archaeologist, known for studies on ancient Egyptian religion, especially early sky and celestial worship. Wainwright theorized that the earliest Egyptian religion centered not on the sun or Osiris but on the sky itself. He traces the development of celestial worship and argues that later Egyptian religious traditions evolved from these archaic beliefs. The work remains a fascinating and influential study in the history of Egyptian religion and comparative mythology.
