Last judgment of Hu-Nefer

Hu Nefer’s tomb at Thebes, Egypt, 19th Dynasty, ca. 1290–1280 BCE

The rituals of the cult of Osiris are recorded in the so-called Book of the Dead, a collection of spells and prayers. Illustrated papyrus scrolls, some as long as 70 feet, containing these texts were the essential equipment of the tombs of well-to-do persons in Egypt. The scroll of Hu-Nefer, the royal scribe and steward of Seti I, was found in his tomb in the Theban necropolis and represents the final judgment of the deceased.
