Summary
The Book of the Dead is the common name for the ancient Egyptian funerary text known as The Book of Coming Forth By Day.The book of the dead was a description of the ancient Egyptian conception of the afterlife and a collection of hymns, spells, and instructions to allow the deceased to pass through obstacles in the afterlife.The book of the dead was most commonly written on a papyrus scroll and placed in the coffin or burial chamber of the deceased.The book of the dead was thus the product of a long process of evolution from the Pyramid texts of the Old Kingdom to the Coffin Texts of the Middle Kingdom.
