The Ancient "Egyptain Book Of The Dead" is the title commonly given to the great collection of funerary text which the Ancient Egyptian scribes composed for the benefit of the dead. These consist of spells and incantations, hymns and latanies, magical formulae and names, words of power and prayers, and they are found cut or painted on walls of pyramids and tombs, and painted on coffins and sarcophagi and rolls of papyri. " The Egyptian Book Of The Dead" is unquestionably one of the most influential books in all of history. Embodying a ritual to be performed for the dead, with detailed instructions for behaviors of the disembodied spirit in the Land Of The God's, it served as the most important repository of religious authority for some three thousand years.
