The Kingdom of the Dead. Rites and Cults of Ancient Egyptians

Wallis Budge presents a majestic epic of the spiritual evolution of the ancient Egyptians, based on an indestructible belief in eternal life. Drawing on religious texts from different eras, conducting a comparative analysis of hymns and laments, and examining burial... ceremonies, memorial rites, and sacraments, the author reveals the meaning of ancient myths about the self-generated and self-existent God and his visible embodiment - the radiant Ra. He tells of the cult of Osiris, who suffered so much after the judgment of the dead and promised immortality in a transformed body to every deceased righteous person.
