Egyptian Ideas of the Future Life

This book examines Egyptian beliefs about death, judgment, the soul, and the conditions of existence after life. It remains significant for its attempt to synthesize funerary texts and archaeological evidence, and readers will find a clear exposition of the Egyptian afterlife alongside translations and interpretive commentary.

E. A. Wallis Budge (1857–1934) was a British Egyptologist, museum curator, and prolific translator whose editions of Egyptian funerary and religious texts became foundational in the study of ancient religion and occult reception. His publications helped popularize ancient Egyptian spirituality in both scholarly and esoteric circles.
