Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. New softcover in glossy printed wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. (5.5 x 0.5 x 8.25 inches) Includes illustrations. 224 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Over thousands of years, the ancient Egyptians evolved a wealth of ideas and beliefs concerning immortality, the great central pivot upon which Egyptian religious and social life turned. Although no single authoritative doctrine or system of beliefs has ever been discovered, a large number of documents have survived, painting a broad, if unsystematic, picture of Egyptian religious and funerary customs, including ideas about life beyond the grave. In this volume, noted Egyptologist E. A. Wallis Budge, formerly Keeper of. Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum, drew upon a wealth of native Egyptian religious works, including the Book of the Dead, to present this concise account of Egyptian tenets regarding the afterlife. Topics include the Egyptian belief in God Almighty; Osiris, the god of the resurrection; the "gods" of the Egyptians; the judgment of the dead and the resurrection; and immortality. Included here are knowledgeable discussions not only of the sublime beliefs, high ideals and noble aspirations underlying Egyptian religious practices, but also the superstitions and fascination with amulets, rites and charms that Egyptians regarded as essential for salvation. For anyone interested in the life and culture of ancient Egypt, this volume offers rich and revealing insights into the religious doctrines and beliefs which, as Dr. Budge points out, "stand second to none among those which have been developed by the greatest nations of the world.".
