This is a magnificent, lavishly illustrated book exploring the perilous journey that the ancient Egyptians believed lay between death and the perfect afterlife a journey that could be navigated using a specially commissioned collection of magical spells. It is a ground-breaking and timely book that draws on intensive recent research at an exciting moment. It is the first comprehensive book on the subject for over thirty years. The British Museum holds an unequalled collection of "Book of the Dead" manuscripts on papyri, many of which have never been published before New photography provides lasting record of fragile and rarely exhibited material. It is published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum, 4 November 2010 6 March 2011.
