What kind of magic was ancient egypt supposed to have?

Question

besides the stuff found in the bible.

Answer 1

Same street stuff you see today, levitation, pulling quarters out of peoples butts etc...

Answer 2

really powerful hex-based magics. when the egyptians wanted to make a curse they didn't mess about.

and the reanimation hexes are just too spooky! how do you make those things?

Answer 3

The only "magic" that ancient egypt had I believe was the ability to conquer other nations and turn their peoples into slaves, when you have millions of disposable slaves you can do anything, Magic.

Answer 4

According to Margot Adler's Drawing Down The Moon, Neo-Pagans who've studied the Egyptian religion have found it to be a straightforward animist religion with spells for good crops, for the protection of women and babies in childbirth, for cursing, and of course for the protection and honoring of the dead.  What I've read in Archaeology Magazine seems to support this view.

In essence, they had the same spells, or the same sorts of spells as their neighbors did.

Answer 5

no idea.
