This book traces the Egyptian view of life from conception to the mysterious realm of the afterlife. Emphasis is given to the hazardous voyage of the soul as it makes its way through the Underworld in search of the eternal paradise.
The Egyptian Book of Living & Dying reveals the mysteries of the ancient Egyptians’ fascinating and amazingly diverse belief system, with its emphasis on ritual funerary cults. It displays a wealth of quotations from ancient Egyptian sources, including intriguing spells from the Book of the Dead and mystical ritual incantations, and looks at the key themes of creation, magic and eternity. Containing more than 90 evocative photographs of ancient Egyptian sites and artefacts, this book is an illuminating work for all who wish to move one step closer to the spirit of the ancient Egyptians.
