The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Moon: Coffin Texts Spells 154–160 - Archaeopress Egyptology
Gyula Priskin
This book proposes that Coffin Texts spells 154–160, recorded at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE, form the oldest composition about the moon in ancient Egypt and, indeed, the world. Based on a new translation, the detailed analysis of these spells reveals that they provide a chronologically ordered account of the phenomena of a lunar month.
