Download or read book The Egyptian Book of the Dead written by University of Chicago. Oriental Institute and published by Oriental Institute Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope for life after death is evidenced even in prehistoric times in Upper Egypt. The first written aids for attaining and supporting life in the hereafter were the Pyramid Texts inscribed within royal tombs towards the end of the Old Kingdom. In the Middle Kingdom, many texts were borrowed from the pyramid chambers and mingled with new spells; this new form, which today we call Coffin Texts, was usually written inside coffins. These eventually gave way to what we now know as the Book of the Dead. The collections of spells were usually written on rolls of papyrus, that is, in the form of an Egyptian book. Presented here are seventy Book of the Dead documents housed in the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago. These documents, represented in whole or in part - all Eighteenth Dynasty or later - include seven papyri, three coffins, a shroud, a statuette, three stelae or similar and fifty-five ushabties. This is the first digital reprint of the 1960 publication.

Download or read book Amduat written by Diana Kreikamp and published by mandrake. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Egyptian Amduat, "Book of the Hidden Chamber", is a fascinating text from ancient Egypt that describes the journey of the deceased. It tells of a twelve hour long voyage beyond death through a mysterious realm known as the Duat. Most people are curious about what happens after we make our departure into the Afterlife. The most pressing question usually entails the finality of it all. Is death truly the end of life, the end of our being? Or is death merely the transition to a new place where we can continue our life in a different form? Unfortunately, no person living on earth is able to provide an answer to shine a light on this mystery. The Egyptian Amduat, "Book of the Hidden Chamber", however, provides a solution to this riddle as it promises that every human being, embarking on this journey, will renew himself to eventually rise from the dead. It clearly describes the entire journey after death through texts and illustrations. According to the Amduat, it was a journey which lasted twelve hours starting at dusk and ending at dawn. In the decade the author worked on this text, she discovered that the journey, as described in the Amduat, is a voyage of Initiation. During the journey the old consciousness, symbolised by the Sungod Râ, is dissolved and transformed into the birth and awakening of a renewed consciousness, which is symbolised by the God Khepri. The process is not limited to the post mortem state, for it occurs during life as well. Therefore, not only the deceased, but every living being on earth can embark on the voyage in question. The group of elite priests in ancient Egypt knew this fact well and used the Amduat to become initiates themselves. Today, the Amduat is still a system qualified to heighten our consciousness. The texts with the corresponding images serve as a guide to show the way to our goal. The inner Sungod teaches us how to navigate safely and transform the psyche's destructive forces into constructive powers. This life changing magical journey provides us with the opportunity to look ourselves in the eye, honestly and sincerely. It is a wake-up call to allow us to see who we really are- divine beings- and to become reborn as our Greater Self. This grants us the power to reconnect with our true potential and to manifest all our gifts and talents in life itself. The book, The Great Awakening; the Way of the Amduat, presents the entire Egyptian system in an unique and interesting blend of academic and esoteric knowledge, intertwined with the author's personal experience of the system itself. The text of the Amduat is explained in clear and comprehensible wording translated to suit our modern age. It is also a practical workbook to teach the reader how to embark on the Sun barque, together with his or her inner Sungod, to make the inspiring voyage of inner awakening. The subsequent gradual transformation and the manner in which it takes shape in daily life, is explained hour by hour from an academic, esoteric and practical perspective.
