“This is one of the best volumes ever written about the Egyptian books of the afterlife. It offers an accessible introduction to this central element of ancient Egyptian religion. The book treats the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, the Book of the Dead, and the Books of Breathing more summarily, since other works to aid their understanding are already available. The New Kingdom Books of the Netherworld, which give detailed descriptions of the hereafter, in addition to the Books of the Sky are treated in more detail.”
― The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife, by Erik Hornung, David Lorton
