"The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and most influential texts in all history. It is made up of a combination of prayers, spells and speeches that the ancient Egyptians buried with their dead, intended to aid the deceased on their journey into the afterlife. This edition contains images from the exquisite Book of the Dead of Ani, an ancient Egyptian scribe, in its entirety. Meticulously inscribed with hieroglyphics and illustrations of the rituals of the afterlife, the papyrus is shown alongside the translation by acclaimed Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge."--Back cover
