Description
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an ancient collection of spells, prayers and incantations designed to guide the departed through the perils of the underworld. Written as part of funeral rites to ensure eternal life, these scrolls were often left in the sarcophagus of the deceased, offering a fascinating glimpse into Egyptian culture. This beautifully illustrated edition contains images from the Papyrus of Ani, an ancient Egyptian scroll narrating the journey of a scribe through the underworld. The accompanying hieroglyphic text has been translated by acclaimed Egyptologist E.A Wallis Budge, and includes spells addressed to ferryman, gods and kings to aid on the way to the afterlife. A beautifully bound edition of this iconic literary work, the Egyptian Book of the Dead is printed using deluxe ivory paper and makes a perfect gift.
