For the first time since its creation, this ancient papyrus is now available in full color with an integrated English translation directly below each image. It is an artistic rendering of the mysteries of life and death. The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an integral part of the world's spiritual heritage. It is the most beautiful, best preserved, and complete example of ancient Egyptian philosophical and religious thought known to exist. Written and illustrated almost 3,300 years ago, The Papyrus of Ani is a papyrus manuscript with cursive hieroglyphs and color illustrations. The Papyrus of Ani is the manuscript compiled for Ani, the royal scribe of Thebes. A Book of the Dead included declarations and spells to help the deceased in the afterlife. Maybe the most stunning presentation of this book in 3300 years: Upon death, it was the practice for some Egyptians to produce a papyrus manuscript called the Book of Going Forth by Day or the Book of the Dead. For the first time in 3,300 years, The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth by Day: The Papyrus of Ani is showcased in its entirety in seventy four magnificent color pages.
