A light-hearted, but nonetheless informative insight into the
fascinating beliefs and traditions of Ancient Egypt. Striking
collage illustrations by Laura Winstone bring a freshness of tone
to a subject matter that might be ancient, but never grows old.
"Hello my newly dead friends. Gather round. My name is Bastet and
I'm going to be your tour guide to the afterlife. Please make sure
your bandages don't trail as we walk along." Bastet is a mummified
cat who is here to take you on a journey through the mystical death
rituals of Ancient Egypt. Starting with some routine disembowelment
and mummification, she explains about the role of the coffins, the
separation of your soul, the importance of amulets and the various
types of Egyptian tombs. Together, you will cross the river Styx
and face the gods in one final judgement - the weighing of the
heart. Bastet will make sure you have everything you need in the
afterlife, because, it turns out, you can take it with you after
all!
