The Egyptian Book of the Dead: A guidebook for the underworld - Tejal Gala
What I hate is ignorance, smallness of imagination, the eye that sees no farther than its own lashes. All things are possible. Who you are is limited only by who you think you are.

Egyptian Book of the Dead (via words-and-coffee) Very wrongly attributed! This is from Chapter 45 of Normandi Ellis’s poetic “translation” of the BotD called “Awakening Osiris” and is a chapter which she states she wrote herself. It has NO corresponding chapter in the BotD. This was not written by an ancient Egyptian and does not come from the BotD. (via bigbadjackal) |
Book of the Dead of priest Ankh-f-n-Amun (21 dynasty)

Egypt Book of the Dead
Why they keep lightened up the skin of the gods?? Not accurate
This is papyrus of Hunefer. May be this picture above is not the best quality photo of this papyrus, but anyway, in this papyrus the Netjeru have light-brown skin color - neither white, nor dark black.
