How does night transform into day? The Ancient Egyptians held the answer, and this picturebook invites readers on a magical journey to explore the skies by day and the mysterious underworld by night, guided by the gods of Egypt.
Step into the enchanting world of Ancient Egypt with Boat of Eternity, a captivating picturebook that brings to life one of the most fascinating myths of the ancient world—the celestial journey of the Sun God Ra and his divine companions. Ra, the Sun God, was born to bring order, protecting humanity not only from evil but also from their own missteps. Yet, maintaining harmony is no easy task, especially when dark forces constantly threaten to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Ra cannot face these challenges alone. Fortunately, he has loyal friends by his side. Together, they embark on an epic voyage aboard the Boat of Eternity, a mythical vessel that carries the sun across the sky by day and through the treacherous underworld by night. Their mission? To ensure the sun rises again, or else darkness will consume the earth. After all, how can life exist without light?
