Volume one covers the Book of the Am-Tuat, which describes the journey of the sun god through the twelve hours of the night, while volume two covers the Book of Gates, which details the journey of the soul through the underworld. The books also include translations of various spells, hymns, and prayers from the ancient Egyptian funerary texts.
