      Death and Burial in Ancient Egypt

      By
      A Book Riot 100 Must-Read Book on Ancient History Death, burial, and the afterlife were as important to the ancient Egyptians as how they lived. This well-illustrated book explores all aspects of death in ancient Egypt, including beliefs of the afterlife, mummification, the protection of the body, tombs and their construction and decoration, funerary goods, and the funeral itself. It also addresses the relationship between the living and the dead, and the magico-religious interaction of these two in ancient Egyptian culture. Salima Ikram's own experience with experimental mummification and funerary archaeology lends the book many completely original and provocative insights. This description may be from another edition of this product.

      A fun summary of current knowledge

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      If you are interested in mummification, this is definitely the book to have. Salima Ikram writes well, and the stories she has to tell are just amazing. The discussion of making mummies includes not just the way humans are treated, but also animals, something that until the work of Dr. Ikram has been really difficult to find out about. She has photographs of things you won't find elsewhere (without a lot of looking through...
