The book of the Dead

The book of the Dead is the name given by Egyptologists to a group of mortuary spells written

on sheets of papyrus covered with magical texts and accompanying illustrations called vignettes. These were placed with the dead in order to help them pass through the dangers of the underworld and attain an afterlife of bliss in the Field of Reeds.
