Product Description

Product Description

The "Pyramid Texts", which were carved on the walls of the pyramids of the kings of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties to guide the dead king through the Netherworld and protect his welfare there, constitute the oldest corpus of religious and funerary texts and, as such are, of fundamental importance for the students of Egyptian religion. This translation, completed in 1969 by a leading authority on these texts, is one of the most accessible, scholarly and complete available, and this reprint should be useful not only to Egyptologists but also to those interested in the history of religion and the occult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!,
By A Customer
This is the most authorative translation of the pyramid texts to date. The great majesty and spiritual depth of the texts is well preserved yet easy to read for the modern reader for example the old system of 'thou' 'thee' 'ye' have been dropped and 'you' 'your' etc.. have been employed.The book is made up of two parts, the first and main part being the english translation accompanied with notes. The second part is a supplement of hieroglyphic texts.For anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the ancient egyptian spiritual cosomogical mysteries then this book is a must.please note that this book does not come with commentary so if your new to egyptian research i would advise buying books ABOUT ancient egyptian beliefs, the various gods etc..first.All in all this book is fantastic well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breath from the Pyramid-age, 21 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is the one and only translation of the Egyptian pyramid texts found in the 5. dynasty pyramids at Saqquara in Egypt. The texts are dated back to around 3200 b.c., indicating that they were based on an oral tradition. It is really hard to give this book a rate, considering the fact that it is mainly a translation of 5000 year old texts. However, to understand the religious life in ancient Egypt you have to read it. Who wrote the texts for example, were they meant to lead the farao to the stars or to the sun? Be a part of the archaeologic community now...
