The Pyramid Texts: Introduction (The Avatar Wizards of Eternity) (Egyptian Spiritual Classics I)

Douglass A. White has produced the first English translation of the Pyramid Texts with a detailed commentary and interpretation. The Pyramid Texts are the oldest spiritual literary corpus in the world. Unlike most ancient texts we have the Pyramid Texts in original editions that date back to the 5th and 6th dynasties of ancient Egypt over 4000 years ago because they were sealed up in pyramids until they were rediscovered in 1880. White's new translation opens up important secrets hidden in these texts that have monumental implications for our modern society. This monograph introduces Dr. White's pioneering translation and interpretation of this remarkable body of writings that comes to us from the dawn of human civilization. This volume is the Introduction, a monograph over 60 pages long and has been revised and updated as of January, 2012. White's translation and commentary is in five volumes, altogether over 1700 pages of material.
