Hans Bonnet's comprehensive encyclopaedia covers all imaginable aspects of religion in Ancient Egypt. There are detailed entries not only on the individual gods and the most important religious temples and sites, but also on all aspects of the cult of the dead. Mummification techniques are described in detail, and explanations are given of the various grave furnishings and the journey of the soul in the realm of the dead. The volume is illustrated with numerous sketches of gods, hieroglyphs and temples.
