Résumé

The Pyramid Texts: Spells of Eternity invites readers into the oldest sacred writings of ancient Egypt-inscriptions carved deep within the pyramids of kings over 4, 000 years ago. These words, etched in stone to guide the pharaohs beyond death, remain among the most profound religious texts ever composed. This newly expanded Fourth Edition (2021) presents the Pyramid Texts as more than funerary spells: they are the blueprint of Egypt's sacred cosmos, where the pharaoh is defended against chaos, nourished with divine abundance, transformed into celestial forms, and ascends to join the imperishable stars.
Drawing upon the latest discoveries, digital scans, and advances in Egyptology since the first edition in 2008, this volume reveals the texts not as relics, but as living voices of a civilization obsessed with eternity. From protective incantations to ascension hymns, from offering formulas to mystical transformations, each chapter uncovers the Egyptians' vision of the afterlife and their unshakable faith in the power of words to create, preserve, and eternalize.
Richly insightful and deeply evocative, Spells of Eternity opens a doorway into the pharaohs' most intimate dialogue with the divine. Step inside the tombs, hear the voices carved in stone, and discover the universe where kings became gods and words became eternity.
