This book examines ancient Egyptian funerary rites from the mid- to late 3rd millennium BC, the period of the first flourishing of the Egyptian state and the construction of the Great Pyramids. Drawing on archaeological, pictorial, and written sources obtained during research at metropolitan and provincial necropolises, including the work of the Russian Archaeological Expedition of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Giza, this book examines the characteristics and evolution of the funerary rites of the nobility, middle, and lower classes of Egyptian society, as well as the rituals performed in the necropolises at various stages of the funerary rites. The monuments explored allow us to explore the worldview of the ancient Egyptians, uncover their views on life and death, and trace the genesis of new trends in funeral culture, such as mummification, which later became one of the hallmarks of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The book is intended for both specialists in the history of the ancient world and archaeologists, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in the history and archaeology of Ancient Egypt.
