Serapis: Egypt, Greece, and Divinity (Gods of Egypt, Myth and Mystery, #21)
By AJ Carmichael
Length6h 52m
About this audiobook
A god without a past—yet rooted in the deepest traditions of the ancient world. Serapis emerged in the wake of conquest, rising from the meeting point of Egyptian eternity and Greek philosophy to become one of the most powerful and enigmatic deities of the Hellenistic age. But was he discovered… or deliberately created? This book takes you inside the birth of a god, where temples, statues, and sacred spaces reveal a story not of mythic origins, but of calculated design, cultural fusion, and the reshaping of belief itself. Journey through the monumental Serapeum of Alexandria, the sacred legacy of the Apis bull, and the enduring theology of Osiris as they converge into a single divine figure. Blending archaeology, history, and religious insight, this book uncovers how Serapis unified empires, bridged civilizations, and redefined what it meant to be divine.
