Il Libro dei morti è una raccolta unica di testi funerari provenienti da una vasta gamma di fonti, che vanno dal quindicesimo al quarto secolo a.C. Composta da incantesimi, preghiere e incantesimi, ogni sezione contiene le parole di potere per superare gli ostacoli nell'aldilà. I papiri venivano spesso lasciati nei sarcofagi perché i morti li usassero come passaporti durante il loro viaggio dalla sepoltura, ed erano pieni di consigli sui traghettatori, gli dei e i re che avrebbero incontrato lungo il cammino. Offrendo preziose intuizioni sull'antico Egitto, il Libro dei morti ha anche ispirato il fascino per l'occulto e l'aldilà negli ultimi anni.

E.A. Wallis Budge (1857-1934) was the Curator of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum from 1894 to 1924. Best known for his numerous translator works, Budge collected a large number of Coptic, Greek, Arabic, Syriac, Ethiopian, and Egyptian Papyri manuscripts. He was also involved in numerous archaeology digs in Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Sudan. Budge is perhaps best known for translating The Egyptian Book of The Dead (also known as The Papyrus of Ani), as well as analyzing many of the practices of Egyptian religion, language and ritual. Budge was knighted in 1920.
John Romer graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1966 and began his work in Middle Eastern archaeology shortly thereafter, conducting the first physical survey and conservation studies in the Valley of the Kings, and excavating the tomb of Ramesses XI. Romer has also dedicated a great part of his time to archaeological conservation and has made many TV and radio documentaries, to international critical acclaim. Besides numerous specialist articles and reports, his books have included Valley of the Kings, Ancient Lives, and The Great Pyramid: Ancient Egypt Revisited.
