At the turn of the twentieth century, a representative of the British Museum traveled to Egypt and heard stories of an incredible scroll hidden in an ancient tomb. When Dr. Wallis Budge finally found the scroll, he described it as “the largest roll of papyrus [he] had ever seen…and in a perfect state of preservation.”
Dr. Wallis Budge learned that this scroll was The Papyrus of Ani, one of the most important funerary texts in Ancient Egypt. With instructions on how to care for the body and soul so that one reaches the afterlife safely, protective spells and magic, and other sacred funerary rights, this text offers incredible insight into Ancient Egyptian customs and beliefs.
This edition of The Egyptian Book of the Dead includes:
- A robust introduction from Doctor Wallis Budge
- Faithful reproductions of each hieroglyph
- A side-by-side transliteration and translation
For anyone interested in history, religion, ancient knowledge, or simply the subject of living and dying well, The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an essential exploration.
SIR ERNEST ALFRED THOMPSON WALLIS BUDGE (1857-1934) was a British Egyptologist and philologist. In 1988, he was working as a buyer for the British Museum in Egypt when he first came across the original source material for The Egyptian Book of the Dead. He published many works on the ancient Near East.
