The Egyptian Book of the Dead

The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Unknown

1700

Translated by P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf

This is not a book to read in one sitting. It is a book to be buried with the dead. For over three thousand years, Egyptian priests inscribed these spells inside pyramids, on coffins, and within tomb chambers, the ultimate travel guide for the soul's journey through the realm of the dead. The texts promise resurrection to those who know the right words, the correct passwords, the sacred names that open gates between worlds. The deceased must face judgment, recite defenses, transform into divine beings. It is at once a legal document, a prayer book, and a map of the underworld.
