The Pyramid Texts, Book IIII, Hymns 532-664C (Spiritual Classics of Egypt 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 is Book IIII containing Hymns 532 - 664C in Dr. White's pioneering translation and interpretation. You will encounter sublime poetry, profound meditations, bizzare humor, and many other remarkable literary phenomena from the early days of recorded human history.
