Book of the Dead

Actually, a collection of spells originally written on papyrus and buried with a mummy during the New Kingdom and Ptolemaic periods. These texts continue the tradition of the Pyramid and Coffin Texts. The spells, of which there are about 200 which we know of, vary from book to book.
