The Egyptian Heaven and Hell is a three-volume series, presented
here in one convenient text, about the Egyptian underworld, or
world of the dead. According to Egyptian mythology, the region of
Tuat was where the people of this world went after death, and where
the Sun God Ra traveled in his boat after dark. A description of
this world was inscribed on the walls of tombs. Volume I of the
series contains the complete hieroglyphic text and English
translation of the Book Am-Tuat. Volume II contains the complete
text and translation of Book of Gates, as well as the text and
translation of the short form of Book Am-Tuat. Volume III contains
information on the origin and contents of the Books of the Other
World and a full index to Volumes I, II, and III. This
comprehensive work is essential to students of Egyptian mythology
and Wallis Budge.SIR ERNEST ALFRED THOMPSON WALLIS BUDGE
(1857-1934) was born in Bodmin, Cornwall in the UK and discovered
an interest in languages at a very early age. Budge spent all his
free time learning and discovering Semitic languages, including
Assyrian, Syriac, and Hebrew. Eventually, through a close contact,
he was able to acquire a job working with Egyptian and Iraqi
artifacts at the British Museum. Budge excavated and deciphered
numerous cuneiform and hieroglyphic documents, contributing vastly
to the museum's collection. Eventually, he became the Keeper of his
department, specializing in Egyptology. Budge wrote many books
during his lifetime, most specializing in Egyptian life, religion,
and language.
