| Publisher Description: This book is a complete retranslation of plate 1 of the Papyrus of Ani (Book of the Dead). In an age where women's rights are not being respected, this retranslation of the Papyrus of Ani refocuses our attention. Modern translators of the famous papyrus, in an affront to women's rights, have completely ignored Ani's wife in their written text translations. But this retranslation reaffirms her place in Ani's life and his passing.Clearly in the painted scene Ani's wife is shown grieving her husband's passing, even being transported with Ani's body on the sled to the tomb, which can now be read. Men must stop intentionally whitewashing women's rights in ancient days - and pretending women didn't have equal rights in ancient days. Mistranslations must no longer be used as a weapon to keep women silent and under subjugation to men. |
