Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a look at the tombs and burial practices of the ancient Egyptians, explaining the religious significance behind the elaborate tombs and their contents. The book specifically explores the Egyptian notion of the soul, examining how it influenced their burial practices and, in particular, the art found in tombs. The author argues that the ancient Egyptians believed in a complicated notion of the soul, made up of three parts: the genius which represented the inhabitant of the tomb; the soul, common to humans and animals; and the intelligence which came from God. These perceptions of the afterlife and the soul had a significant influence on the art found in tombs, which aimed to assist the deceased soul on its journey to the afterlife. The author concludes by discussing the significance of the ancient Egyptians' concept of the afterlife and how it is reflected in their tombs and art.
