More about the book
Focusing on the ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife, this text served as a guide for souls navigating the underworld.

Wallis Budge in 1888, dates back to 1500 B.C. and was authored by Ani, a Royal Scribe. Budge's 1895 translation introduced this significant work to English readers, preserving its historical and cultural importance.
