The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Více o knize

Every breathtaking picture in this remarkable-looking volume--bound in real papyrus--comes from Thebes, and represents one version of Egypt's great national funeral work. The glowing paintings include the sun god Ra on the Night Boat, a delicate image of Nebamun hunting in the marshes, and, from the tomb of the pharaoh Ramses VI, a grand ceiling mural decorated with astronomical scenes.
