Unquestionably one of the most influential books in all history, this spectacular archeological find was found in an 18th Dynasty tomb in 1888. The translation is from a perfectly preserved huge roll of papyrus written circa 1500 B.C. for Ani, Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the Lords of Thebes. This important work embodies a ritual to be performed for the dead with detailed instructions to the spirit for behavior in the Land of the Gods. For 3,000 years it served as the repository of religious authority well into the Christian era.
This is an important book for those of you immersed in Egyptology, ancient beliefs systems which influence modern thought, and life after death. For those of you seeking a wider vision of your place in this world, within the pages of this book, it is possible to find the code for living both in this world and the afterworld.
