The book presents a groundbreaking reinterpretation of the Pyramid Texts, traditionally viewed as funerary literature. Author Jeremy Naydler argues that these texts are actually mystical, reflecting the living king's experiences with alternate realities, akin to shamanic journeys. This perspective challenges the prevailing view among Egyptologists and suggests that ancient Egyptian mysticism was more profound than previously understood. Naydler's scholarly work aims to reveal the initiatory wisdom embedded in these texts, appealing to those interested in Egypt, shamanism, and the deeper aspects of human spirituality.
