The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Text Soft Cover Book by R.O. Faulkner Egyptology

Description: The Pyramid Texts are one of old sacred writings known, carved on the walls of the pyramids of the kings of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties to guide the dead king through the Netherworld and protect his welfare there. They constitute the oldest corpus of religious and funerary texts and, as such are, of fundamental importance for the students of Egyptian religion. The first of them appeared in the Egyptian King Una's pyramid around 5,000 years ago. This translation, completed in 1969 by the Faulkner, is one of the most accessible, scholarly and complete available, and this reprint should be useful not only to Egyptologists but also to those interested in the history of religion and the occult. Despite their age, the pyramid texts are a lucid description of ancient Egyptian religious ceremony and belief. To have a lucid, literate translation of them brings the ancient writings forward to the present and starkly proclaims their relevancy. This book is a reprint of the original edition. This book is part of an enormous collection of egyptian books which belonged to my parents (mostly my father) who was a scholar of Ancient Egypt. I've inherited hundreds of books from him and am (very) slowly beginning to list on ebay. If you enjoy love the study of Ancient Egypt and are looking for a specific book, one that maybe rare, and/or unique on Ancient Egypt and Egytology be sure to keep an eye out on my future listings and/or follow me as a seller for notifications on new listings. The book shown in the photos is the actual book you will receive. I do combine shipping on multiple items. Thanks for looking and be sure to reach out with any additional questions, comments, requests, etc. Enjoy the day! Estate Blanchard
