Book Synopsis The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts by : James P. Allen
Download or read book The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts written by James P. Allen. This book was released on 2007-08-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horus in the Pyramid Texts: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of Semitics) During my studies at the University of Chicago I have become deeply indebted to various members of the Semitic faculty: Messrs. Price, Willett, J. M. P. Smith, Luckenbill. To Professor Breasted in particular, under whom all the work in my principal subject has been done, I owe thanks not only for the stimulus imparted in his classes and for the use of his Pyramid Texts manuscript, but also for the inspiration of close personal contact and friendship.

Book Synopsis The Pyramid Texts by : Samuel Mercer
Download or read book The Pyramid Texts written by Samuel Mercer. This book was released on 2020-08-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pyramid Texts were funerary inscriptions that were written on the walls of the early Ancient Egyptian pyramids at Sakkara. These date back to the fifth and sixth dynasties, approximately the years 2350-2175 B.C.E. However, because of extensive internal evidence, it is believed that they were composed much earlier, circa 3000 B.C.E. The Pyramid Texts are, therefore, essentially the oldest sacred texts known. Samuel Mercer was the first to produce a complete English translation. This is Volume 1 of a 4 Volume set. This particular volume, apart from the Preface and Introduction, contains the actual verses of the Pyramid texts. Volumes 2-4 contained all the commentary by Mercer and others, and are very hard to come by, so I don't think they will be going up on the site anytime soon.
