Editorial Review:
Product Description: For millennia, the culture and philosophy of the ancient Egyptians have fascinated artists, historians, and spiritual seekers throughout the world. Now, this reissue of a Chronicle Books classic brings to light once more the legendary 3,500-year-old Papyrus of Ani--the most beautiful of the Egyptian funerary scrolls ever discovered. Restored to its original sequences, the elaborately bordered papyrus conveys its intended sense of motion and meaning in a way no other book on the subject can match. From mysticism and philosophy to anthropology and astronomy, this sumptuous volume will appeal to casual readers, serious scholars, and the generally inquisitive mind.

This book was on a tv show I was watching. It's a reproduction of a real ancient Egyptian's expensive book of the dead. The plan was that once he was dead, he would then help the other members of his family get to heaven. This guy paid a fortune for this and it was suppose to be buried with him but grave robbers took it. I sure hope this man and his family isn't in Egyptian limbo someplace. All that time and effort and money only to have thieves steal it from you when you are dead.

This volume is the most up-to-date revision of the famous funerary scroll of the Egyptian royal scribe, Ani. It was meant as a guide to assist the dead in his journey into the afterlife. There are several books by EA Wallis Budge that bear the same title The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Papyrus of Ani in the British Museumbut cannot compare to this most recent edition.
Though Budge is popular due to the shear volume of his non-copywritten texts (he wrote over 100 books - many outdated ... Read More

I must say that I received my order on time, and I did not have any complications with the delivery process or any thing associated with that.
