The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Moon: Coffin Texts Spells 154-160

This book proposes that Coffin Texts spells 154-160, recorded at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE, form the oldest composition about the moon in ancient Egypt and, indeed, the world. Based on a new translation, the detailed analysis of these spells reveals that they provide a chronologically ordered account of the phenomena of a lunar month.
