Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Book of the Dead is not a single text but a compilation of spells that the ancient Egyptians believed would assist them in the afterlife as they made their perilous journey toward the realm of the gods and the ultimate state of eternity. No two copies are identical. The spells are often accompanied by colored vignettes, which graphically show the imagined landscape of the Netherworld, the gods and demons whom the deceased will meet, and the critical weighing of the heartthe judgment that will determine whether the traveler will be admitted into the afterlife or condemned to destruction by the monstrous Devourer.With contributions from leading scholars and detailed catalog entries that interpret the spells and painted scenes, this fascinating and important book affords a greater understanding of ancient Egyptian belief systems and poignantly reveals the hopes and fears of mortal man about the world beyond death. The whole is beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned photographs of these exceptional papyri and an array of contextual funerary objectspainted coffins, gilded masks, amulets, jewelry, tomb figurines, and mummy trappings. Offers a compilation of spells that ancient Egyptians believed would assist them in afterlife as they made their perilous journey toward the realm of gods and ultimate state of eternity.
