This is the second of three volumes, first published in 1906, which explore the Egyptian theology of the afterlife. It contains the complete hieroglyphic text of the short form of the Åm-Tuat and of the Book of Gates, with translations and reproductions of all the illustrations. In the Book of Gates the doctrines of the sophisticated cult of Osiris are prominent: they affirm that the beatified live for ever in the kingdom of Osiris, and feed daily upon his eternal body. The object of all the Books of the Other World was to provide the dead with a 'guide' or 'handbook,' containing a description of the regions through which their souls would have to pass on their way to the Kingdom of Osiris, and which would supply them with the words of power and magical names necessary for an unimpeded journey from this world to the next.… (altro)

If you like to study the AM-DUAT in detail, like I do, this is the book to read. Profusely illustrated and thouroughly explained by the author. He takes you through the twelve hours of the Book of Am Duat and the Book of Gates. An excellent book. (

Written by one of the great pioneers at the British Museum who went into the field and translated many scrolls and texts, this work is comprehensive in the exposition of Ancient Egyptian beliefs in the hereafter and all of the pitfalls that had to be overcome to reach heaven. Although modern scholars discount his work, I still like his clear style of writing. (

Complete hieroglyphic renderings of the ancient 'books of the underworld' which provided the dead with a guide their souls would need to make the journey from the world of the living to the 'abode of the blessed.' Ancient texts shed considerable light on the development of material and spiritual elements in Egyptian religion and on numerous primitive gods. Extraordinary documents for students of Egyptology. (
