The Book of Am-Tuat
by E. A. Wallis Budge
[1905]
This book is an Ancient Egyptian cosmological treatise which describes the
Tuat, the underworld that the boat of the Sun God, Ra, traverses during the
night hours. Each chapter deals with one of the twelve hours of the night. A
hallucinogenic travelogue of the netherworld, this extensively illustrated book
depicts hundreds of gods and goddesses that appear nowhere else in the
literature.
