The "Book of the Dead" is an ancient Egyptian funerary text, consisting of a collection of spells, prayers, and incantations intended to guide the deceased through the afterlife and ensure safe passage to the realm of the dead. It was used primarily during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, around 1550 to 50 BCE. The text is not a single book but rather a compilation of various spells, often customized for the individual for whom the burial was intended.
