Has anyone read The Egyptian Book of the Dead?

[Bretrick]

I have been wanting to read it for decades but have not done so as yet.

I did, but it was 50 years ago and I don't remember anything from it except I remember being disappointed. Can't remember why!

I read it, or tried to, years ago. Magic spells, etc., that may be of historic interest. But it's not timeless wisdom or anything like that.

OK, I am intrigued now. Vaguely remember hearing of the book. Will have to look into it

I read the sequel...

"Mummy Dearest"

It was written between 1500BC to about 50BC. It is pretty far out when it comes to the spells and incantations. I didn't get much out of it except it's historical importance in "spiritual" literature. I did however like the book "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying", put together in about 1991. It is strictly a Buddhist philosophical book. It covers Buddhist philosophy as well as any one book published. I am no longer Buddhist, but when I was it was great reading.

@Bretrick I have it in PDF format, it's with a list of other religious texts, if you pm me with your email address, I will be more than happy to send you a copy.
