The Egyptian Conception Of Immortality

By George Andrew Reisner

A sweeping study with the weight of a history and the clarity of a guide, The Egyptian Conception Of Immortality invites you to walk the Nile valley alongside scholars who shaped how we understand ancient belief. This volume presents a rigorous exploration of the ancient Egyptian notion of immortality, weaving together funerary religion, ritual practices, and the enduring idea of the afterlife. As an egyptology scholarly monograph, it speaks to students and seasoned researchers alike, while remaining accessible to curious readers drawn to archaeology and ancient civilisation. The author's careful analysis and cross-disciplinary perspective make it a vital academic reference work, yet its lucid voice also makes it a compelling read for museum education professionals and casual readers seeking a sense of the past's grandeur. Historically significant and richly contextual, the text stands as a testament to how the Nile Valley's antiquity informs our modern imagination. For collectors and classics enthusiasts, this is more than a reprint; it is a cultural treasure, a restored bridge to a foundational era of study in egyptology and archaeology. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, the book is restored for today's and future generations. A true artefact of scholarly pursuit and enduring curiosity.
