Following Osiris: Perspectives on the Osirian Afterlife from Four Millennia

Osiris, god of the dead, was one of ancient Egypt’s most important deities. This volume is concerned with ancient Egyptian conceptions of the relationship between Osiris and the deceased, focusing on five distinct periods over four millennia to offer the most comprehensive exploration available of what the ancient Egyptians thought would happen to them after they died, how and why these expectations changed and developed over time, and how they are reflected in the textual and archaeological records remaining.
