BOOK OF THE DEAD

BOOK OF THE DEAD
ScnTUEU
ancient Egyptian collection of texts made up of spells and magic formulas, placed in tombs and believed to protect and aid the deceased in the hereafter. Numerous authors, compilers and sources contributed to the work. So it is no wonder that we discover the various wisdoms of Egypt appearing as the earliest wisdoms of Greece; it is no wonder why we look into the Christian Bibles and find ourselves reading the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
