The Egyptian Conception of Immortality
"That Egyptologists have on some important points not yet reached agreement appears in Professor George Andrew Reisner's account of 'The Egyptian Conception of Immortality' - Harvard's Ingersoll lecture for 1911. He traces it from the prehistoric race to the time of hte Ptolemies, together with the funeral ceremonies which in successive periods were associated with it.
