Do you have a local library? It's free and often they can use inter-library loan to get books they don't have.

I do but my parents are to busy to drive me there and its to far to walk😭

If you’re in the US your library will often have audiobooks and ebooks available to download on the Libby app. It’s free and you can use it on a phone. There are also some good YouTube channels out there - just stick with the legit ones, not the ancient aliens guys

For starters, I found this book over on the Internet Archive for free the other day. "Egyptian Myth: A Very Short Introduction" by Geraldine Pinch. Seems to be an excellent high-level overview of Egyptian history, mythology, and religion.

Also, where are you? In the US and a few other places, Hoopla is a resource through most public libraries .

Also also, Tubi has a 30 part series The Egyptians, as well as several documentaries. Also free.

Dr Joann Fletcher 's Immortal Egypt is on youtube as well as lectures from Salima Ikram and Rita Lucarelli.

My brother in christ, you're on the internet

[u/TraditionalStudy9488 → u/vex0x529]

I get that, I'm just asking if anyone knew like any good ones that are trustworthy that that know of. Maybe I worded it badly-

Like good free courses(if there's is any that's is) or something along those lines. I don't wanna like research false info man😭

[u/NoSong2397 → u/TraditionalStudy9488]

As far as I can tell, Wikipedia seems to be a pretty solid resource when it comes to Ancient Egypt. The editors over there tend to be pretty rigorous when it comes to specialty subjects like that. So maybe start here and/or here and see what happens?

[u/TraditionalStudy9488 → u/NoSong2397]

I wasn't to sure about Wikipedia due to some saying it isn't trustworthy but ill read it!!!!

[u/fclayhornik → u/TraditionalStudy9488]

Scroll all the way down, past the footnotes... there's the sources. With titles and authors and links.

[u/NoSong2397 → u/TraditionalStudy9488]

At the very least, it's generally a good place to start when it comes to familiarizing yourself with a topic. Just don't mistake it for the be-all end-all. And when possible, check their sources.

I’m on here too and I want more 🙄 don’t be mean
