This new edition reprints his whole work in one volume. Filling the gap between the `Pyramid' texts and the New Kingdom Book of the Dead, these writings were intended to supply the deceased with the speeches he would need to achieve a secure and important position in the next world. As such they supply valuable insights into Egyptian beliefs and mortuary practices. Concise textual notes are kept to a minimum, allowing the character of the texts to be experienced as a whole. Indexes cover divinities, localities, celestial bodies, selected Egyptian words in translation and also the parts of boats and sailing gear that figure prominently in some spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aris \u0026 Phillips, 2004","offers":[{"title":"The Ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts Spells 1-1185 \u0026 Indexes \/ Good","offer_id":51994986283300,"sku":"9780856687549GD","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_0d023d42-c69e-43a0-8bfc-154abc8cb61c.jpg?v=1781792090","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780856687549","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
