Il “corpo sciamanico” è centrale nella storia degli studi, nella letteratura, nelle pratiche simboliche, nei repertori mitici, nel discorso scientifico.

A distinguished group of Egyptological scholars from around the world gathered to consider new perspectives on the Pyramid Age; the results are presented here.
