Description
The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth by Day is a stunning papyrus manuscript that has been preserved for over 3,300 years. Written and illustrated in cursive hieroglyphs and color, it is the most beautiful and complete example of ancient Egyptian philosophical and religious thought known to exist.
For the first time in centuries, this ancient papyrus is now available in full color with an integrated English translation directly below each image. This twentieth-anniversary edition features significant improvements to the display of the images, a survey of the continuing importance of ancient Egypt in modern culture, and a detailed history of Egyptian translation and philology since the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. A state-of-the-art Annotated Bibliography and Study Guide for Ancient Egyptian studies completes this critical work.
With its lavish presentation and comprehensive content, this revised edition of The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history, philosophy, and culture.
