Of all the ancient peoples, the Egyptians are perhaps best known for the fascinating ways in which they grappled with the mysteries of death and the afterlife. This beautifully illustrated book draws on the British Museum's world-famous collection of mummies and other funerary evidence to offer an accessible account of Egyptian beliefs in an afterlife and examine the ways in which Egyptian society responded materially to the challenges these beliefs imposed. The author describes in detail the numerous provisions made for the dead and the intricate rituals carried out on their behalf. He considers embalming, coffins and sarcophagi, shabti figures, magic and ritual, and amulets and papyri, as well as the mummification of sacred animals, which were buried by the millions in vast labyrinthine catacombs. The text also reflects recent developments in the interpretation of Egyptian burial practices, and incorporates the results of much new scientific research. Newly acquired information derives from a range of sophisticated applications, such as the use of noninvasive imaging techniques to look inside the wrappings of a mummy, and the chemical analysis of materials used in the embalming process. Authoritative, concise, and lucidly written, Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt illuminates aspects of this complex, vibrant culture that still perplex us more than 3,000 years later.

There are many questions related to sexuality that all of us lovers of ancient Egypt have asked at some point: was the image of depravity that the Romans spread, especially referring to Queen Cleopatra, true? How did they deal with homosexuality? What were their favorite positions in bed? Did they practice bestiality, necrophilia, incest, pedophilia, and other rumored deviancies? The truth is that by studying this aspect of Egyptian life we find truly amazing items, like a pornographic papyrus that scandalized the very Champollion himself, a pharaoh who slips through the night in the bed of one of his generals, a goddess who sleeps with her dead husband, a god who praises the buttocks of another while trying to sodomize him, or a festival in which women copulate with a ram in-front of a crowd. This work pinpoints these issues and many others, including the use of aphrodisiacs and contraceptives, love spells, erotic poetry or the attitude towards adultery, in an entertaining and concise but rigorous way, and accompanied by more than 30 images that will help us understand this important facet of life and social relations of the ancient Egyptians.
