Dive into the discovery of Egyptian civilization and its rites. With its 200 illustrations, including previously unpublished photographs of underwater excavations by the European Institute of Underwater Archaeology, and reproductions of around a hundred objects, including unique pieces never before seen by the general public, this book transports you to ancient Egypt and brings to life the episodes of the religious ceremony dedicated to the dead god returned to life. From Heracleion to Canopus, the secret paths of the Mysteries of Osiris are revealed, rituals that preserved the regeneration of the god, the cycle of the seasons, the prosperity and unity of the country, as well as dynastic continuity. Through sacred objects, places of worship, and key figures of the Egyptian pantheon, this book extends and enriches the exhibition event at the Arab World Institute and will allow everyone to become familiar with the little-known and fascinating rites of ancient Egypt.
