Description

Explore the ancient rituals of the Predynastic Egyptians with this scholarly volume from Routledge Revivals. The Book of Opening the Mouth: Vol. I provides the original Egyptian texts accompanied by English translations, offering a direct window into the religious practices that shaped ancient history. These sacred recitals and the Liturgy of Funerary Offerings were used long before the development of writing and continued to influence religious literature through the Roman Empire. This text focuses on the spiritual ceremonies believed to allow the deceased to continue their existence by reconstituting the body and restoring the heart-soul, known as the Ba. This first volume serves as a vital resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and ancient religious history. It provides a clear look at the formulae used to maintain the connection between the physical body and the spiritual elements in ancient Egyptian belief systems.
