E. A. Wallis translated and transcribed this work. The Book of the
Dead is the name given by the ancient Egyptian funeral text 'The
Book of Coming '[or 'Going']' Forth By Day'. The book details the
Egyptian view of the afterlife. Included are spells, hymns and
instructions for the dead to pass through obstacles in the
afterlife. This papyrus scroll was placed in the coffin of the
deceased. The Book of the Dead was first thought to be a Bible but
is it not a religious work. It is an instruction manual for the
recently departed.
