The Pyramid Texts

Anonymous Anonymous

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media. Narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
The Pyramid Texts are the oldest ancient Egyptian funerary texts, dating to the late Old Kingdom. They are the earliest known corpus of ancient Egyptian religious texts. Written in Old Egyptian, the pyramid texts were carved onto the subterranean walls and sarcophagi of pyramids at Saqqara from the end of the Fifth Dynasty, and throughout the Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, and into the Eighth Dynasty of the First Intermediate Period. The oldest of the texts have been dated to c. 2400–2300 BC. Unlike the later Coffin Texts and Book of the Dead, the Pyramid Texts were reserved only for the pharaoh and were not illustrated. The use and occurrence of Pyramid Texts changed between the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms of Ancient Egypt. During the Old Kingdom (2686 BCE – 2181 BCE), Pyramid Texts could be found in the pyramids of kings as well as three queens, named Wedjebten, Neith, and Iput. During the Middle Kingdom (2055 BCE – 1650 BCE), Pyramid Texts were not written in the pyramids of the pharaohs, but the traditions of the pyramid spells continued to be practiced. In the New Kingdom (1550 BCE – 1070 BCE), Pyramid Texts were found on tombs of officials.

Meditations

Marcus Aurelius

Written by a Roman emperor at the height of his power, Meditations is one of the most profound and enduring works of philosophy ever composed. In this series of deeply personal reflections, Marcus Aurelius — the last of the Five Good Emperors — examines the nature of virtue, resilience, mortality, and the importance of living in accordance with reason. 
Originally intended as private notes to himself, Meditations offers timeless insights into Stoic philosophy and the challenges of ethical leadership. With clarity, humility, and strength, Aurelius contemplates the impermanence of life, the futility of anger, and the power of self-discipline. 
This unabridged audiobook draws from public domain translations of Meditations, presenting Aurelius’s wisdom in accessible language while preserving the spiritual gravity and moral purpose that have inspired readers for centuries. Essential listening for anyone seeking inner peace, strength, and a guide for living well in a chaotic world.

In the Penal Colony

Franz Kafka

"In the Penal Colony" is a short story by Franz Kafka written in German in October 1914, revised in November 1918, and first published in October 1919. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from, or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's The Torture Garden as an influence. The story is set in an unnamed penal colony and describes the last use of an elaborate torture and execution device that carves the commandment that the condemned prisoner has transgressed on his skin as he slowly dies over the course of twelve hours. As the plot unfolds, the reader learns more and more about the machine, including its origin and original justification.
