For understandable and inevitable reasons, the colloquially termed
"9/11" is most symbolically linked to the World Trade Center. The
Pentagon's destruction received far less coverage, but those who
helped extinguish the fires, tend to the wounded, and clean up the
aftermath will never forget such a loss. Thousands took part in the
Pentagon recovery effort following 9/11, but few knew exactly what
they were signing up for. A nearby Army unit, the 3rd United States
Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), sent its soldiers to contribute
where they could, as best they could, and in any capacity they
could. In this book, soldiers of The Old Guard have elected to
share their experiences. Their accounts attest to the honor and
camaraderie that were necessary for picking up the pieces, as well
as the traumatic effects of being enveloped in the aftermath of
tragedy.
The belief that dead people could assume non-human forms is
attested in Egyptian texts of all periods, from the Old Kingdom
down to Graeco-Roman times. It was thought that assuming such forms
enhanced their freedom of movement and access to nourishment in the
afterlife, as well as allowing them to join the entourages of
different deities and participate in their worship. Spells
referring to or enabling the deceased's transformations occur in
the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead. But
it is not until the Graeco-Roman Period that we find entire
compositions devoted to this theme. Two of the most important are
P. Louvre N. 3122 and P. Berlin P. 3162, both written in hieratic
and dating to the 1st century AD. Both texts have been known to
Egyptologists for more than a century, but neither is currently
available in an up-to-date comprehensive edition. This book
provides such an edition, including high-resolution images of the
manuscripts, hieroglyphic transcriptions, translations,
descriptions of their material aspects, studies of their owners,
their titles, and their families, reconstructions of their context
of usage, analyses of their orthography and grammar, and detailed
commentaries on their contents.
