The "Book of Dead" is an ancient Egyptian funerary text, primarily associated with the New Kingdom period. It consists of a collection of spells and illustrations designed to guide the deceased through the afterlife, ensuring safe passage and protection against various dangers. This text is often found in tombs and is written on papyrus scrolls. The "Book of Dead" includes important elements such as the Weighing of the Heart ceremony, where the deceased's heart is weighed against the feather of Ma'at, symbolizing truth and justice.
