[quote:LTHN.:MV80NTQ5MTQ5XzgyOTAxMDc0Xzg3NUIzMUFC] Wow, Wallis Budge was your grandfather? Cool, he wrote quite a few books, mostly esoteric subjects, interesting man. [/quote]
Original Message
He translated a French translation of the Papyrus of Ani (Egyptian book of the dead).
He told me that he believed that is was originally written by Thoth.
He was a freemason.
He told me that the Egyptians and other ancient societies believed that the physical body had to be preserved after death. He said
never get cremated
.
When he died his coffin was filled with epoxy resin and he had some gold artifacts in there but I am not sure why gold matters?
