| This extensive volume features information on mummification and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text used from the beginning of the New Kingdom to around 50 BCE. The book contains many spells for sending the dead into the After Life. In most horror stories (and modern movies), these spells are the basis for mummies to awaken and roam the Earth as the living dead. |
