Summary |
This A & E Special tracks The Egyptian Book of the Dead from its creation around 1800 BC near the site of the city of Thebes, to its rediscovery--and theft--in the 19th century, to its 21st century resurrection through the use of digital technology. Biblical scholars agree that portions of the Old Testament are direct descendants of that Egyptian text, and some archaeologists argue that Moses must have read and carried a copy of it with him when he fled Egypt. The Egyptian Book of the Dead: an ancient text endowed with the intensity of a best-selling novel and the power of a great work of spiritual literature |
