The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts (Writings from the Ancient World)
Completely revised and updated

Features:
- Sequential translations based on all available sources, including texts newly discovered in the last decade
- Texts numbered according to the most widely used numbering system with new numbers from the latest 2013 concordance
- Translations reflect the primarily atemporal verbal system of Old Egyptian, which conveys the timeless quality that the text s authors understood the texts to have
