The Egyptian Conception of Immortality - The Ingersoll Lecture 1911

First published in 1911, this vintage book contains the contents of a fascinating lecture given in 1911 by George Andrew Reisner on the subject of immortality in Ancient Egyptian religion and culture. George Andrew Reisner (1867 - 1942) was an American archaeologist of Ancient, Nubia, Palestine, and Egypt. Other notable works by this author include: 'Amulets' (1907), 'Early dynastic cemeteries of Naga-ed-Dêr' (1908), and 'Excavations at Kerma' (1923). Contents include: 'Introduction', 'Sources of the Material', 'The Ideas of the Primitive Race', 'The Early Dynastic Period', 'The Old Empire', 'The Middle Empire', 'The New Empire', 'The Ptolemiac-Roman Period', and 'Summary'. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
