This lavishly illustrated book acquaints readers with both the physical procedures and the religious rites involved in preparing a royal corpse for eternity, allowing the regenerated body - transfigured and wrapped in linen bandages - to proceed along the paths fraught with danger that led to the Field of Reeds, the ancient Egyptian paradise.
