Passage to Eternity presents a comprehensive visual and scholarly exploration of the tombs and wall decorations in the Theban necropolis (Luxor), one of the most remarkable testaments to ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. This richly illustrated volume guides the reader through four main sections covering the Valley of the Kings, the Tombs of the Nobles, Deir el?Medina, and the Valley of the Queens. Expert essays provide context on religious symbolism, funerary rituals, and artistic techniques, while photographs showcase the iconography and technical mastery of Egyptian tomb paintings. Combining visual documentation with interpretive analysis, the book offers an in-depth perspective on one of the most captivating aspects of ancient Egyptian art and culture, making it an essential reference for art historians, egyptologists, and enthusiasts of ancient civilizations.
