AKHU: the Venerated Ancestors of Ancient Egypt is a groundbreaking enquiry which brings together the author’s competence in linguistics, mythology and ethnology as a rich and meaningful investigation of Ancient Egypt. The work includes the support and cultural participation of North African Berber scholars. The book brings out the archaic terminology of earliest hieroglyphic Pyramid texts which the later Greco-Roman vocabulary guiding European scholarship has often masked. Helene Hagan’s background in Mediterranean history and mythology and her knowledge of North African Amazigh (Berber) culture guided her in this remarkable journey. This book seriously contributes to Egyptology and the study of Ancient History.
