Description
Résumé:The four lectures in this series took place between 17 May and 27 May 2013. Their subject was how the ancient Egyptians conceived of the relationship between the god Osiris and those who died. The lectures did not provide a continuous or comprehensive account of Egyptian beliefs about this relationship, but rather focused upon four distinct periods of their development, spread over four millennia. The periods selected for attention were ones in which significant changes in the Egyptian conception of the Osirian afterlife are known to have occurred, or where it has been argued that they did. An important aim of the lectures was to investigate when and why such changes happened, and how they can be recognised in the historical and archaeological record.
