The 100 scenes of the Book of Gates are furthermore represented with one or more colored illustrations, originating from different sources. With an Introduction by Theodor Abt. Contains Bibliography and Index. Review: PRECIOSIDADE - Não é apenas uma tradução do original, mas também apresenta o texto em hieróglifos original (coisa rara), abaixo do qual a sua transliteração e abaixo da mesma a tradução... de forma que o estudioso ou amante daquela antiga língua pode (se a conhecer por estudos prévios pois este livro não ensina a língua do antigo Egito) acompanhar, alterar, melhorar, criticar ou mudar a tradução proposta, ou em se tratando de estudante aprender junto com o mestre, acompanhando através de sua tradução, passo a passo, o raciocínio gramatical utilizado,revendo seus próprios conhecimentos, reforçando-os, o que em si já é um aprendizado maravilhoso. Mas se você nada conhecer de hieróglifos ainda é obra imperdível, pois trata de tradução de um grande mestre. Obra imperdível Review: Worth every PENNY!! - A must read must own book for EVERYONE!!

Very well constructed book with quality paper, solid binding and handsome dust jacket. The mdw ntr is much clearer than the Amduat publication, which is why I gave this book 5 stars and that one 4. Worth having, the price is steep and if you can find it cheaper id suggest it but this book is worh $100 for sure. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Egyptian Book of Gates - Egyptian Amduat: The Book of the Hidden Chamber --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/514547554-the-egyptian-book-of-gates-translated-into-english-by-erik](https://www.desertcart.us/products/514547554-the-egyptian-book-of-gates-translated-into-english-by-erik) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
