The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth by Day
- Used Book in Good Condition
For millennia, the culture and philosophy of the ancient Egyptians have fascinated artists, historians, and spiritual seekers throughout the world. Now, with this deluxe edition, the legendary 3,500-year-old Papyrus of Aniâ€”the most beautiful of the ornately illustrated Egyptian funerary scrolls ever discoveredâ€”has been restored in its original sequences of text and artwork, using the latest advances in computer-imaging technology. Four exquisitely illustrated gatefold spreads and an acclaimed translation by two noted Egyptologists showcase the Papyrus's elaborately bordered images and convey its intended sense of motion and meaning in a way that other books on the subject cannot begin to match. For both lay readers and scholars interested in a wide range of topicsâ€”from mysticism and philosophy to anthropology and astronomyâ€”this sumptuous and accessible new volume will be an essential acquisition.??
