| Book Subtitle | The Ancient Egyptian Term 'H3I' |
| Book Description | The research conducted for this work revolves around the Egyptian word HAi. Man's innate desire to defeat death has found expression in his ritual behavior and mythology. In conjunction with the preservation of the corpse, the deposition of grave goods with the body, and the ceremonial act of burial, the ancient Egyptians devised a symbolic journey for the dead in order for them to pass on to a new life - this is the ritual of HAi. The term has the connotation of "ritually transport" with the express purpose of revivifying or rejuvenating the deceased. |
