A radical reinterpretation of the Pyramid Texts as shamanic mystical wisdom rather than funerary rituals - Reveals the mystical nature of Egyptian civilization denied by orthodox Egyptologists - Examines the similarity between the pharaoh's afterlife voyage and shamanic journeying - Shows shamanism to be the foundation of the Egyptian mystical tradition To the Greek philosophers and other peoples of the ancient world, Egypt was regarded as the home of a profound mystical wisdom. While there are many today who still share that view, the consensus of most Egyptologists is that no evidence exists that Egypt possessed any mystical tradition whatsoever. Jeremy Naydler's radical reinterpretation of the Pyramid Texts--the earliest body of religious literature to have survived from ancient Egypt--places these documents into the ritual context in which they belong. Until now, the Pyramid Texts have been viewed primarily as royal funerary texts that were used in the liturgy of the dead pharaoh or to aid him in his afterlife journey. This emphasis on funerary interpretation has served only to externalize what were actually experiences of the living, not the dead, king. In order to understand the character and significance of the extreme psychological states the pharaoh experienced--states often involving perilous encounters with alternate realities--we need to approach them as spiritual and religious phenomena that reveal the extraordinary possibilities of human consciousness. It is the shamanic spiritual tradition, argues Naydler, that is the undercurrent of the Pyramid Texts and that holds the key to understanding both the true nature of these experiences and the basis of ancient Egyptian mysticism.Binding Type: Paperback

Great price for a great shirt
Very nice men’s button down short sleeve shirt. Material is lightweight and breathable, easy to wash, and easy to iron. True to size. Well made. Goes with anything.

Nice, but nowhere near slim fit
This cotton linen short-sleeve shirt is a decent option for summer casual wear. The fabric blend of cotton and linen seems to be of good quality - breathable and lightweight for warmer weather. It has a nice soft feel without being see-through. The design is fairly standard with the short sleeves, button front, and chest pocket. The imitation rhino horn buttons are an interesting detail that adds a touch of style. However, I found the fit to be quite baggy and loose around the midsection despite being labeled as "slim fit." The shirt length was also a bit longer than I preferred. While the shirt is billed as versatile for different occasions like beach vacations or evenings out, I think they are better suited for very casual daily wear or running errands. The loose, untucked fit looks a bit sloppy for anything dressier in my opinion. On the upside, they are low maintenance in terms of washing and drying. The sizing chart was accurate enough as far as chest and shoulder measurements, but the roomy cut threw off the "slim fit" sizing for me. Overall, these aren't bad summer shirts if you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit. The material seems breathable and of decent quality for the price. But the baggy bottom half and lengthier shape weren't ideal for my taste. They get the job done for casual wear but don't quite live up to the "slim fit" promise in the product description.

Impossible to iron
I used spray, shower steam and nothing would even start to get the wrinkles out. Unless you are prepared to do some heavy ironing, don't bother with this shirt.

Linen-Cotton Casual Shirt
I live in the subtropics; breathable fabrics are important in your wardrobe. I realize synthetics have benefits, but for me natural fabrics are my preference. Linen and Cotton blend; yes please. I was looking for smart casual, something more than a t-shirt or golf-shirt but less than button-down. Something that would pair well with a nice pair of shorts and look good. And that it does.
Sizing is your question. I ordered a large because I often have difficulty fitting at the shoulder; the size chart indicates a medium would probably be better but I am OK with a little baggy casual too. In a brick-and-mortar store, I would normally try both sizes on and select the best fit. The arms and shoulder fit fine, the torso is a bit large. If I wear it to the beach unbuttoned, it looks great.

Lightweight but comfortable
I like that this shirt is lightweight and airy - great for warm and humid Florida weather. However, the sizing is off a bit. I received a large, but it fits more like a medium. It’s tight around the shoulders and chest. Still, it’s a nice shirt, but you may want to order a size up.
