About the Book

The Book of the Dead is a collection of religious writings from ancient Egypt that were inscribed on papyrus and buried with the dead to help them in the afterlife. Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, an English Egyptologist who worked for the British Museum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, translated and assembled the book. One of the most thorough and commonly used translations of The Book of the Dead, including transcriptions, translations, and annotations in hieroglyphic writing, is Budge's. The book includes charms and prayers meant to guide the departed through the afterlife and help them achieve everlasting life in the Field of Reeds. Along with hymns and writings describing the beginning of the universe, the function of the gods in Egyptian mythology, and the rites and customs of Egyptian funeral religion, it also contains passages that depict the creation of the world. For researchers studying ancient Egyptian religion and culture, as well as for anybody interested in the values and customs of one of the world's oldest civilizations, The Book of the Dead is an indispensable tool.

About the Author :
Sir E. A. Wallis Budge Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (1857-1934), a British philologist and Egyptologist, made significant advances in our knowledge of ancient Egyptian language, religion, and society. He was reared in Bodmin, Cornwall, England, and attended Cambridge University for his schooling. In 1883, Budge started working at the British Museum's Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities. He worked there for more than 40 years until taking over as the department's keeper in 1894. Over the course of his career, Budge translated a number of important Egyptian works, including as the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Book of Am-Tuat, and the Book of Gates, adding to the more than 100 books and articles he wrote on ancient Egypt. Although his translations were often criticized for their biases and errors, his efforts helped the study of ancient Egyptian religion and culture become more well-liked in the West. In addition to his work as an Egyptologist, Budge was a prolific writer on a range of topics, including mythology, folklore, and anthropology. He belonged to both the Royal Asiatic Society and the Royal Anthropological Institute. His contributions to Egyptology earned him a knighthood in 1920.
