The Egyptian Heaven and Hell: Volume 2 The Short Form of the Book Am-Tuat and The Book of Gates
by E.A. Wallis Budge
1905
Complete hieroglyphic renderings of two 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.
