The Egyptian Book of the Dead (Penguin Classics)

I brought this book for a Christmas present for my daughter and from what I’ve seen the book looks very informative and a great read.

What a fascinating book! A magical immersion in the Egyptian world Highly recommend

The quality of the book was really good and exceeded my expectations for the price I paid. Delighted with it and a very interesting read.

Definitely a long read and very well researched. There is a lot of clarification and background information which was fascinating.

This is a a remarkable book. I just want to alert purchasers of the Kindle version that the text appears to be the product of scanning a physical book. There are a multiplicity of mistakes (such as "aoat" for "boat", a lack of spaces after some commas, apparently unpaired quotation marks etc) which seem to be artefacts of the scan and which haven't been caught by proofreading. I'm still happy with my purchase--the content is excellent and the Kindle edition cost half the (discounted) price of the equivalent physical book. But if you're the kind of person who can't stand that sort of thing, beware.

Excelent read

Basic book and information but I have to say really heavy going with the names dates and references. In some parts I just gave up. Not really sure why it was written so boring and really not capturing the whole information in an interesting way.

Great book for beginners in understanding the book of the dead

Maior do que pensava. Óptimo para quem e fã do antigo Egipto e das suas histórias

The Egyptian Book of the Dead is very informative. One also needs to read the Tibetan Book of the Dead to compare how both civilizations viewed the process of life after death and what one would expect. The Ancient Egyptian civilizaton is gone, yet this is great that the ancient esoteric teachings have been recorded. Current people living in Egypt is not from the ancient Egyptians, they keep the traditions, yet are from surrounding countries that over the centuries have moved in. This is true because archeologists are finding out information today and then letting the Egyptian Government know which then places it on display for the visitors in time. It is the the archeologists that are informing this country about the history, the ancient culture, spirituality that took place, etc. This is so because the ancient esoteric spiritual teachings are not currently being practiced. Tibetan spirituality still exsists and being practices today and how they prepare people who are about to cross over to the other side of life through the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Both books are Excellent to read to have both perspectives. Tibetans are not afraid of death. They have a full understanding through their spiritual teachings with prepares them and gives them comfort. A very advanced culture in many ways. Both the Egyptians and Buddhists believe in reincarnation as well as many others and this helps one know that we are really an eternal soul. We continue to live on after one dies. All the near death experiencers say this and more. Egyptian Book of the Dead is a clear and concise book that explains how one viewed death in ancient Egypt and what was expected in that culture. The Tibetan book of the Dead goes farther in that it explains how the process of dying takes place both spiritually and physically. Nothing to worry... As a soul/spirit we are eternal as both books and cultures explain clearly. Review written by: D. Min. Degree
