About this audiobook
The objects found in the graves of the predynastic Egyptians, i.e., vessels of food, flint knives, and other weapons, etc., prove that these early dwellers in the Nile Valley believed in some kind of a future existence. However, as the art of writing was unknown to them, their graves contain no inscriptions, and we can only infer from texts of the dynastic Period what their ideas about the Other World were. They did not consider it of great importance to preserve the dead body in as complete and perfect state as possible, for in many of their graves, the heads, hands, and feet have been found severed from the trunks and lying at some distance from them. On the other hand, the dynastic Egyptians, either as the result of a difference in religious belief or under the influence of invaders who had settled in their country, attached supreme importance to the preservation and integrity of the dead body, and they adopted every means known to them to prevent its dismemberment and decay. They cleaned it and embalmed it with drugs, spices, and balsams; they anointed it with aromatic oils and preservative fluids; they swathed it in hundreds of yards of linen bandages; and then they sealed it up in a coffin or sarcophagus, which they laid in a chamber hewn in the bowels of the mountain.
STACY DALTON
Stacy Dalton's Fascination with Egypt began at an early age, when he showed proficiency and high aptitude for languages, having read the story of Jean Francois Champollion and the decoding of the hieroglyphs, he was immediately drawn to Ancient languages of Egypt and the Middle East. He has worked on 9 expeditions and written 33 papers on every Kingdom and Dynasty of Egypt, he has now expanded his insights into other ancient civilizations and dabbles as an investigative mythologist. Stacy believes when we crack the origins of creation mythology we will crack ancient civilizations, something many scholars largely ignore.
