The Egyptian Conception of Immortality

"The Egyptian Conception of Immortality: The Ingersoll Lecture, 1911" by George Andrew Reisner may have originated as the text version of Resiner's educational lecture, but that doesn't mean that it should go unread. Egyptian religious rituals have fascinated people for centuries, and Reisner managed to make the topic accessible to individuals who aren't experts in the field. Missing the dry and dense language that often defines lectures, this text marked an important shift in understanding an ancient civilization among non-intellectuals.
