The Sungod's Journey Through the Netherworldis a unique examination of the Egyptian concept of the afterlife. It provides a window into the thought processes of this ancient civilization and their mythology.... Indeed this book opens new possibilities for examining the psychological foundations of ancient mythologies and the texts that describe them. Robert D. Bates, Near East Archaeological Bulletin(2013)
