The Egyptian Book of the Dead; The Book of Coming Forth By Day by Dr. Muata Abhaya Ashby

The Pert en Heru or Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, as it is more popularly known has fascinated the world since the the successful translation of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic scripture over 150 years ago. The astonishing writings in it reveal that the Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death and in an ultimate destiny to discover the Divine. The elegance and aesthetic beauty of the hieroglyphic text itself has inspired many to see it as an art form in and of itself.

But is there more to it than that? Did the Ancient Egyptian wisdom contain more than just aphorisms and hopes of eternal life beyond death?

In this volume Dr. Muata Ashby, the author of over 20 books on Ancient Egyptian Yoga Philosophy has produced a new translation of the original texts which uncovers a mystical teaching underlying the sayings and rituals instituted by the Ancient Egyptian Sages and Saints.
