Specific and characteristic ideas about death, transcendence, and afterlife emerged in ancient Egypt’s melting pot: Cultural discourses encountered at the intersection between Egyptian, Roman-Hellenistic, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic worlds of thought. The volume examines their roots, transcultural parallels and differences as well as their complex reception history.
