Egyptian Tarot (U. S. Games)

The Egyptian Tarot is based on illustrations from Comte C. de Saint-Germain's book Practical Astrology, published in 1901. Titles have been added to each card which were only included in the text of the book. The instruction booklet also contains Saint-Germain's original card descriptions. The Egyptian Tarot has brown line drawings on a specially-aged paper to create a papyrus effect. The major arcana, suit and court card names all reflect Egyptian mythology and culture. The Fool has been renumbered as Card 22 - the Crocodile. Unlike many other tarot decks, each card in the minor arcana has a number assigned to it from 23-78. The back design shows the famous funeral mask of King Tutankhamen.
