"Egyptian Ideas of the Future Life" is a treatise on the subject by Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge. It is intended to place before the reader in a handy form an account of the principal ideas and beliefs held by the ancient Egyptians concerning the resurrection and the future life, which is derived wholly from native religious works. The literature of Egypt which deals with these subjects is large and, as was to be expected, the product of different periods which, when taken together, cover several thousands of years making it necessary to reconcile the statements and beliefs of a writer of one period with those of a writer of another.
