The Book of the Dead (Ancient Egyptian: ?????????????????, rw n(y)w prt m hrw(w)) is an ancient Egyptian funerary text generally written on papyrus and used from the beginning of the New Kingdom (around 1550 BCE) to around 50 BCE.[1] The original Egyptian name for the text, transliterated rw nw prt m hrw,[2] is translated as Book of Coming Forth by Day[3] or Book of Emerging Forth into the Light[citation needed]. "Book" is the closest term to describe the loose collection of texts[4] consisting of a number of magic spells intended to assist a dead person's journey through the Duat, or underworld, and into the afterlife and written by many priests over a period of about 1,000 years. Karl Richard Lepsius introduced for these texts the German name Todtenbuch (modern spelling Totenbuch), translated to English as Book of the Dead.
The Book of the Dead, which was placed in the coffin or burial chamber of the deceased, was part of a tradition of funerary texts which includes the earlier Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts, which were painted onto objects, not written on papyrus. Some of the spells included in the book were drawn from these older works and date to the 3rd millennium BCE. Other spells were composed later in Egyptian history, dating to the Third Intermediate Period (11th to 7th centuries BCE). A number of the spells which make up the Book continued to be separately inscribed on tomb walls and sarcophagi, as the spells from which they originated always had been.
By the 17th Dynasty, the Book of the Dead had become widespread not only for members of the royal family, but courtiers and other officials as well. At this stage, the spells were typically inscribed on linen shrouds wrapped around the dead, though occasionally they are found written on coffins or on papyrus.[9]
This papyrus is long known as the standard version of The Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Egyptians believed in an afterlife and this book served these beliefs for more than 3000 years. It provides instructions for the souls that pass on and enter into the Land of the Gods, while also covering detailed rituals to be performed for the dead. The Papyrus of Ani was purchased for the British Museum in 1888 by E. A. Wallis Budge, who also became its' translator. It was discovered near Luxor in an 18th Dynasty tomb, written as a copy in about 1500 BC for the Royal Scribe of Thebes, Ani. Chapters have been found carved on the walls of the pyramid from the earlier 5th Dynasty, on the walls of ancient tombs, painted on mummy cases, and written on papyrus throughout Egypt's long history. Budge described this particular text as being "the largest roll of papyrus I had ever seen, tied with a thick band of papyrus, and in a perfect state of preservation." It turned out to be 78 feet in length, with 37 separations according to topic and chapter divisions. This book is a copy of that scroll, with a running English translation. It is unquestionably the most important text of ancient Egypt, meant to insure the spiritual welfare of everyone who passes on and enters their future life.
Many examples of Egyptian funerary scrolls exist. The version used in this edition is that of the famous and well-preserved Papyrus of Ani, written around 1500 B.C. Ani was the Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the Lords of Thebes. As such, he was honored with a fine example of a funerary papyrus.if(typeof performance.mark !== 'undefined' && typeof performance.measure !== 'undefined'){performance.mark("Product_Tabs_loading_end");performance.measure("productTabsDur","Product_Tabs_loading_start","Product_Tabs_loading_end");}Related Subjects Archaeology - General & Miscellaneous Death & Dying - Sociocultural Aspects Egypt - History Egyptian & Mesopotamian Art Eschatology Eschatology, Egyptian Funeral rites and ceremonies->Egypt General & Miscellaneous Ancient Egyptian History Magic Studies Middle East & North Africa - Archaeology Middle Eastern & Egyptian Folklore & Mythology Archaeology - General & Miscellaneous Death & Dying - Sociocultural Aspects Egypt - History Egyptian & Mesopotamian Art Eschatology Eschatology, Egyptian Funeral rites and ceremonies->Egypt General & Miscellaneous Ancient Egyptian History Magic Studies Middle East & North Africa - Archaeology Middle Eastern & Egyptian Folklore & MythologyCustomer Reviews$(function() {var isLoggedIn = false;var ratingsParams = {categoryID: 'Products',streamID: '1100059545', /* use Product ID for unique identifier?

Some of the texts that consist this book were carved on the stones of the pyramids, others were inked on the sarcophagi in which the pharaohs were buried, and copies of the spells, incantations, and hymns were also written on papyrus and buried along with the bodies of the dead, for the departed soul to be ready to use them in the underworld.
First, the texts were written on the fabric with which Egyptians mummified the bodies, and then they started writing them on papyrus and collected them into books which were put in the tomb along with the body of the deceased. 2b1af7f3a8
