The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts

**Completely revised and updated** James P. Allen provides a translation of the oldest corpus of ancient Egyptian religious texts from the six royal pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties (ca. 2350-2150 BCE). Allen’s revisions take into account recent advances in the understanding of Egyptian grammar. **Features:** * Sequential translations based on all available sources, including texts newly discovered in the last decade * Texts numbered according to the most widely used numbering system with new numbers from the latest 2013 concordance * Translations reflect the primarily atemporal verbal system of Old Egyptian, which conveys the timeless quality that the text s authors understood the texts to have
