This is the third of three volumes, first published in 1906, which
treat the Egyptian theology of the afterlife. The first volume
contains the complete hieroglyphic text of the Book Am-Tuat, with
translations and reproductions of all the illustrations; the
second, the hieroglyphic text of the short form of the Am-Tuat and
the Book of Gates. This volume explores the origin of the Books of
the Other World, highlighting and comparing the most remarkable
features, with prefatory remarks and a full index to the whole
work. The object of all the Books of the Other World was to provide
the dead with a 'guide' or 'handbook, ' containing a description of
the regions through which their souls would have to pass on their
way to the Kingdom of Osiris, and which would supply them with the
words of power and magical names necessary for an unimpeded journey
from this world to the next
