Written by one of the great pioneers at the British Museum who went into the field and translated many scrolls and texts, this work is comprehensive in the exposition of Ancient Egyptian beliefs in the hereafter and all of the pitfalls that had to be overcome to reach heaven. Although modern scholars discount his work, I still like his clear style of writing. (  ) drj | Jul 7, 2008 |   no reviews | add a review
