Product Description

Immortality was the great central idea on which Egyptian religious and social life turned. In this volume, a noted Egyptologist offers a concise, scholarly exposition of Egyptian belief in Osiris, god of the resurrection; other "gods" of the Egyptians; the judgment of the dead and the resurrection; and immortality. Also, the meaning of the afterlife for ancient Egyptians and its ramifications for Egyptian society. 8 illustrations.

3.0 out of 5 stars AGED BUT STILL REFRESHING FOR THE LEARNED ONE, August 25, 2000
By Robert (Buenos Aires, Capital Federal Argentina) - See all my reviews
This is one of the oldest books of Budge, so that not expect too much from it. It mainly covers the Egyptian concepts about the Afterlife, so that it deals mainly with the mythological characters and customs of the mortuary realm. Although very speculative in several discussions, it still contains useful hints here and there, and its reading is a good source of ideas, whether for idle speculation or for researching forgotten aspects of ancient Egyptian religion. As always, if you are a beginner, in spite of being a book addressed to the general public you must be extremely cautious and check each and every quotation with other more reliable sources.
