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.
