LEARN EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS
Subtitle: Easy Lessons with Matching English Text
Author: E. A. Wallis Budge
The most fascinating language of the ancient world is that of the Egyptian hieroglyphics, as seen on countless tombs and temples that remain to this day in Egypt. What do they say? The only way to learn what these symbols mean is to study the ancient texts. Many of them are reproduced here with matching English translations. This rare text was previously published under the misleading title of Egyptian Language, and is now back in print. It is the standard introduction to Egyptian hieroglyphics, 10 written by one of the greatest Egyptologists of his time, E. A. Wallis Budge.
Budge was once Keeper of the Egyptian Antiquities in the British Museum. As a result, he goes beyond translation lessons by revealing a fascinating history of hieroglyphic writing, including how the code to its understanding was cracked, and the overall evolution of the language. The main portion of the book, however, contains lists of hundreds of characters that have their phonetic meanings defined, often within important historical texts.
Includes chapters on grammatical usage in all areas, including verbs, adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and pronouns. This is the perfect book for anyone wishing to gain a true understanding of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

EGYPTIAN RELIGION
Author: E. A. Wallis Budge
The after-life was a major component of ancient Egyptian culture, upon which much of their society was centered around. Death and resurrection was considered a constant cycle. This book is the first comprehensive study of ancient Egyptian ceremonies. The author, Sir Wallis Budge, was the keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum and devoted his life to understanding their mysteries. This book goes much further in explaining ancient Egyptian rituals, texts and artifacts than many newer books have done. Highly recommended for those seeking new information on a legendary ancient culture.

EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Subtitle: The Papyrus of Ani
Author: E. A. Wallis Budge
This papyrus is long known as the standard version of The Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Egyptians believed in an afterlife and this book served these beliefs for more than 3000 years. It provides instructions for the souls that pass on and enter into the Land of the Gods, and also covers detailed rituals to be performed for the dead. The Papyrus of Ani was purchased for the British Museum in 1888 by E. A. Wallis Budge, who also became its translator. He called it “the largest roll of papyrus I had ever seen, tied with a thick band of papyrus, and in a perfect state of preservation.” It was 78 feet long. This book is a copy of that scroll, with a running English translation. It is the most important text of ancient Egypt, meant to insure the spiritual welfare of everyone who passes on and enters their future life.

Of Heaven and Earth
Author: Zecharia Sitchin
Covers Sitchin’s theories on the origins of mankind and the intervention of intelligence from beyond the Earth. He and the other contributors offer a scholarly approach to the ancient astronaut theory. Contains the complete transcripts of the first Sitchin Studies Day held in Denver, Colorado in 1996. After Sitchin’s main presentation are chapters by philosopher Neil Freer, UFO expert J. Antonio Huneeus, clergyman Father Charles Moore, author V. Susan Ferguson, and two university professors, Madeleine Briskin and Marlene Evans. Like Sitchin, they believe that certain myths were real events instead of imaginative stories. Sitchin’s work is the early part of a new paradigm – one that is beginning to shake the very foundations of religion, archaeology and our society in general.
