the book of the dead



this is the book of the dead. scientists have taken a long time to decifer what it said and they finally got it.  im not sure what the book is about other than them being dead.  i havent read the book but i guess it has something to do with where people go when they die.  accourding to the egyptians of course. in this picture there are some gods and they are weighing out the good and the bad things that the people have done to decide whether or not to send them to hell or heaven.

    Remember the myth of Osiris and Isis? Persons in the Book of the Dead would make pleas to them to enter into the Afterlife?
