Free full text

E. A. Wallis Budge’s "The Egyptian Heaven and Hell" presents translated and annotated materials from ancient Egyptian funerary texts concerning the soul’s journey after death. Its historical significance lies in making complex Egyptian mortuary religion accessible to modern readers, and inside are accounts of divine judgment, the underworld, and the hoped-for blessed state of the dead.
