Download or read book A Journey through the Beyond written by Silvia Zago and published by Lockwood Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers the first comprehensive overview of the evolution over time of a foundational concept of the Egyptian afterlife beliefs, the Duat, or netherworld. The Duat is a complicated, multifaceted notion, which was never canonized into a single version of the beyond, but offered instead a variety of alternatives attempting to describe the metaphysical realms beyond the visible world, and beyond life. Theological speculations gave rise to a rich textual and visual repertoire, which underwent a process of evolution over thousands of years, during which newer ideas and images were constantly introduced. Through the analysis of royal and non-royal funerary texts from the late Old Kingdom to the end of the New Kingdom, this book traces the development of the conceptualization of the notion of Duat, outlining what it encompassed and where it was imagined to be located. In addition to the translation and discussion of the most significant passages of the texts analyzed, each chapter also provides an overview of the individual compositions and of the relevant theological, cosmological, and astronomical notions complementing the conceptual framework, of which the Duat formed but a part. Additionally, discussions of concurrent changes in Egyptian culture, society, and ideology are included in order to clarify the context in which afterlife beliefs and related texts evolved. An analysis of the correlation between funerary compositions and their material supports complements the study, emphasizing the Egyptians' belief in a magical synergy between texts, images, and their contexts in the activation of a suitable, effective afterlife for the recipients of the texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Realm of Ancient Egypt! *****SECOND EDITION***** Free bonus inside! (Right After Conclusion) - Get limited time offer, Get your BONUS right NOW! Have you heard of Queen Cleopatra and wondered about her? Do you know about the pyramids but not how they came about? Would you like to know more about ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses? Do you want to know more about mighty Pharaohs? If you can say "yes" to even one of these questions, then Ancient Egypt is the book for you. In this book, you will learn about the most famous people and incidents in Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt has its origins all the way from 5300 BC. Over several millennia, there have been a significant number of innovations that have placed Ancient Egypt above some of the other ancient civilizations. This can clearly be seen today, where modern people can still experience the influence of ancient Egypt through clothing, hieroglyphics and architectural wonders including the pyramids and temples found in the country. In this book, you will learn about the history of Ancient Egypt, looking as far back as Egypt's Pre-dynastic Period. This will help you to understand the changes that occurred in Egypt, and also to identify when things were being improved or constructed. You will also gain some insight on the main gods and goddesses that were worshiped by the Egyptian people, including the reasons why they were being worshiped. The ancient Egyptians had over 2000 gods and goddesses, each one filling in a specialized role. This includes gods for rain and the sunshine, planting and harvest and creation as well. The gods that have been featured in this book include Ram, who is also known as the Sun God, Amun, who is known as the god responsible for creation, Isis, the goddess of fertility who is married to Osiris, the god of death, and Hathor, the goddess of love. Egyptian Pharaohs are also famous for their power, and accomplishments that forever changed the landscape of Egypt. Almost every Egyptian Pharaoh commissioned the construction of a pyramid. Many of these pyramids were constructed upwards of two thousand years ago though they are still standing to this day. Besides the mighty Pharaohs were some magnificently beautiful queens. However, these queens were more than ceremonial figureheads. Even with all their beauty, they were able to come up with solutions for the people, as their beauty was matched with intelligence, reasoning power, and thoughtfulness. The story of the most well-known queen, Cleopatra, is included in this book. In addition, Queen Nefertiti (who is commonly depicted on busts) is also discussed in this book. This book also has specifics on the different types of pyramids. These details include the time periods in which they were built, as well as the size of the pyramid. Pyramids were built as tombs, particularly for members of the royal family. For that reason, pyramids often have chambers where different members of the family can be buried. Ancient Egypt is a book that promises to be entertaining and information, offering you an excellent insight into this civilization. ***Limited Edition*** Download your copy today!

Download or read book The Pyramid Texts written by Samuel Mercer and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pyramid Texts were funerary inscriptions that were written on the walls of the early Ancient Egyptian pyramids at Sakkara. These date back to the fifth and sixth dynasties, approximately the years 2350-2175 B.C.E. However, because of extensive internal evidence, it is believed that they were composed much earlier, circa 3000 B.C.E. The Pyramid Texts are, therefore, essentially the oldest sacred texts known. Samuel Mercer was the first to produce a complete English translation. This is Volume 1 of a 4 Volume set. This particular volume, apart from the Preface and Introduction, contains the actual verses of the Pyramid texts. Volumes 2-4 contained all the commentary by Mercer and others, and are very hard to come by, so I don't think they will be going up on the site anytime soon.
