Study of ancient Egyptian funerary customs: the beliefs that underpinned them, their evolution linked to religious changes, and the tombs with their grave goods, from furniture and food to inscriptions and temples of animal gods. The work closes by showing how modern science, by analyzing mummies, can trace kinship and diseases and reconstruct clinical histories.

An accessible read for the general public interested in Egyptology, archaeology and the history of religion.
