Papyrus Of Ani - The Egyptian Book Of The Dead Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are no hieroglyphs, phonetically written Kemetic words anywhere in this text. There is no foreword, editorial commentary, footnotes and citations on translation/ language nuances, etc.It's great if you just want to read the Pert em Hru (Book of the Dead) in English - no muss, no fuss. But from an scholarly standpoint, or for someone who wants to see the original glyphs as they read the translation, this Budge version is useless. I wish the book's description had made that clear to potential buyers.

THE ILLUSTRATED EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD (MIND, BODY, SPIRIT S.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While Dr. Saleem is certainly heartfelt in his presentation of the material, his work is marred by the long standing 19th century biases and a totally bizarre sense of linguistics.
Much of what Saleem says reads as if taken directly from the works of Budge and the Theosophists. The idea of a "esoteric monotheism" of ancient Egypt is unsupportable being rooted in long standing western cultural biases that look upon magic and polytheism as 'primitive' (How could Egypt be both advanced and polythiest? Take a look at Japan and find out). If you want to take an irresponsible and distorted New Age headtrip and pretend your learning about Ancient Egypt, read this book. If you would rather get a sense of the real mystery, power, beauty and magic of Egypt, read Bob Brier.
