speculative and analytical

This book presents a full translation of Berlin Papyrus 3024, which relates the story of a man and his "ba" (soul). The author provides a brief explanation at the end of the translation. She believes the text is not just about a man in despair and considering suicide : according to her, this text shows that the Ancient Egyptians knew about the philosophical system long before Plato did ! An interesting speculative book, with a few black and white illustrations, it is mostly recommended for the open-minded and spiritually-oriented readers.
