First published in 1893 and revised in 1925, Sir Wallis Budge's important volume offers a fascinating, erudite discussion of Egyptian funerary procedures, including mummification, burial practices and goods, ritual texts, gods, graves and tombs, coffins, mummycases, the Book of the Dead and much more. The author has also included much additional information of a general nature - a history of Egypt, royal cartouches (panel eclosing the king's name) decipherment- featuring an account of the Rosetta Stone- a list of hieroglyphs and other material vital to understanding the Egyptian way of death.
