XXVIII.—On the Deities of the Amenti, as found in Egyptian Mummies. By Thomas Joseph Pettigrew, Esq. F.R.S., F.S.A.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2012
Extract
In the 27th volume of the Archæologia (pp. 262—273) an account is given of an Egyptian Mummy, unrolled by me at Jersey in 1837, in which, for the first time, the special parts of the human body considered by the Egyptians to be under the protection or influence of the deities of the Amenti or Amunti, are distinctly pointed out and confirmed. On the 23rd of May last, at the solicitation of the Council of the United Service Museum, I unfolded another Egyptian Mummy, and, meeting with some objects confirmatory of the opinions expressed in my previous paper in the Archæologia, I beg now to submit a short notice of them to the Society of Antiquaries.
