Egyptian Religion

E. A. Wallis Budge

This book is intended to give the listener an account of the principal ideas and beliefs held by the ancient Egyptians concerning the resurrection and the future life, which is derived wholly from native religious works. The literature of Egypt which deals with these subjects is large and, as was to be expected, the product of different periods which, taken together, cover several thousands of years; and it is exceedingly difficult at times to reconcile the statements and beliefs of a writer of one period with those of a writer of another. Up to the present, no systematic account of the doctrine of the resurrection and of the future life has been discovered, and there is no reason for hoping that such a thing will ever be found, for the Egyptians do not appear to have thought that it was necessary to write a work of the kind. This book sums up all thought, beliefs, and myths concerning future life in ancient Egypt. Duration - 5h 7m. Author - E. A. Wallis Budge. Narrator - Katrina Joyner. Published Date - Sunday, 22 January 2023. Copyright - © 1899 E. A. Wallis Budge ©.
