The Pyramid Texts are the oldest body of extant literature from
ancient Egypt. First carved on the walls of the burial chambers in
the pyramids of kings and queens of the Old Kingdom, they provide
the earliest comprehensive view of the way in which the ancient
Egyptians understood the structure of the universe, the role of the
gods, and the fate of human beings after death. Their importance
lies in their antiquity and in their endurance throughout the
entire intellectual history of ancient Egypt. This volume contains
the complete translation of the Pyramid Texts, including new texts
recently discovered and published. It incorporates full
restorations and readings indicated by post-Old Kingdom copies of
the texts and is the first translation that presents the texts in
the order in which they were meant to be read in each of the
original sources. "Paperback edition is available from the Society
of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)"
