The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Without a doubt, the Egyptians held the key to many secrets; medical, anthropological, scientific and even astral. Their writings remain open to interpretation and are the subject of ongoing debate as to their meaning. The papyrus depicted here is examined in enormous detail and this revised edition with gatefold pages to display sections in their entirety doe# the subject justice. The most recent translation and interpretation is shown here and for anyone interested in ancient civilisations and their beliefs, this a truly rewarding read. It’s a book to savour and go back to time and again. Although packed with detail, it’s presented in a way 5gats accessible to the lay reader. Paper qualit6 is 3xcellent and the colours are good.

Great book

This is probably the best book there is on the subject of Egypt's Book of the Dead. It explains clearly the Papyrus of Ani which the book is based on.

fantastic book much larger than i expected a must for those studying the subject ,a wealth of information . A first class service from supplier BOOK DEPOSITORY I have used them quite a lot in the past and they have never disappointed with delivery and quality

I bought this for my son's girlfriend for her birthday. She loves history and really liked the book. She basically never put it down for the couple of days she was staying here. I had a quick look and the photos and illustrations are great and it is well put together. She said to give it a 4/5 🙂

it's nicely written and well researched book. It's easy to read and full of information. having finished it, I found the ancient Egyptian faith and rituals to their God not very different from current known religions. Perhaps it's another proof that the source is one !

Interesting read. Everything as stated in description

My daughter bought this Ad my Mother’s Day present... as I am a big fan of the Egyptian Era. It’s a truly lovely book with loads of pictures and facts.

Gran formato y gran calidad de papel e impresión, muy ilustrado con el papiro completo y con desplegables y muy bien explicado, lastima que está en inglés pero no lo hay en castellano

Since childhood, I had wished to read this book. I can only say that everything about it is amazing—from the high quality of the printed text and images to its exceptional content.

Boy am I glad I'm done reading this book,and I still don't know half of what I read,thank goodness at the end of the book there is a commentary by a Dr. of Near Eastern studies,who states, "There are many obscure parts that can't be explained".All in all a very interesting read with great pictures.The interesting points I found is they believe the Earth is a Firmament Oval surrounded by water i.e. Flat Earth,Horus the Hawk brings the dead mans soul to Osiris [in my own experience I find this to be true of certain people],Seth the great Bull,the soul of Geb,is a steeler of souls,laps up corruption and lives on what is putrid i.e.Satan.The book also talks of gate keepers for a lot of things for all sorts of things good and evil.Talks about many Great Councils i.e. Gods.RE who is cat like is the eldest of the Gods,which I found to fascinating as I believe the world is divided into cat people and bird people [lizards],the Sunshine God is above all,like Christianity [Mithraism] and the messenger came out of the body of the Sun i.e. Christ? that Atum created from his flesh,parts of your body represent Gods,like your eyes are Horus your phallus is Osiris etc,it talks of portals and sacrifices for the Limp one [Satan],final judgement before the council of Gods,[which I believe is true as well no matter what religion you are],it also says that you can encounter another world in your dreams,[which I believe is true as well].So some very interesting info to draw your own conclusions.

Bien

Beautifully produced and great commentary. Very good.
