死者之书

El Juicio de Osiris representado en el Papiro de Hunefer (ca. 1275 a. C.). Anubis, con cabeza de chacal, pesa el corazón del escriba Hunefer contra la pluma de la verdad en la balanza de Maat. Tot, con cabeza de ibis, anota el resultado. Si su corazón es más ligero que la pluma, a Hunefer se le permite pasar a la otra vida. Si no es así, es devorado por la expectante criatura quimérica Ammyt, compuesta por partes de cocodrilo, león e hipopótamo. Viñetas como esta eran muy comunes en los libros de los muertos egipcios.

Parte de los Textos de las Pirámides, un precursor del Libro de los muertos, inscritos en la Pirámide de Teti.

La viñeta superior ilustra, de izquierda a derecha, al dios Heh como una representación del mar, una puerta de entrada al reino de Osiris, el Ojo de Horus, la vaca celestial Mehet-Weret y una cabeza humana emergiendo de un ataúd custodiado por los cuatro Hijos de Horus.[10]

“亡灵书”
圣书体写法：

《死者之书》（或译为亡灵书、死亡之书）指的是一段古埃及墓葬文书，这段文书使用于自新王国时期（约前1550年）至约前50年的时期内。《死者之书》原始的埃及语名字直接拉丁撰写是“rw nw prt m hrw”，意思“来日之书”，或者是“通往光明之书”。这段文本含有可以协助死者通过死亡之地杜亚特前往来世的咒语。

《死者之书》是早期绘制在物体上而不是纸莎草纸上的金字塔文和棺材文的一部分。其中的一部分可以在这些古老文本中发现，因此历史可以追溯到公元前三千年前。此外其余文本出现在第三中间期（前11至7世纪）。这些文本构成的《死者之书》被刻在死者的棺椁和墓壁上。

Book of the Dead 死者之书

This detail scene, from the Papyrus of Hunefer (c. 1275 BCE), shows the scribe Hunefer's heart being weighed on the scale of Maat against the feather of truth, by the jackal-headed Anubis. The ibis-headed Thoth, scribe of the gods, records the result. If his heart equals exactly the weight of the feather, Hunefer is allowed to pass into the afterlife. If not, he is eaten by the waiting chimeric devouring creature Ammit composed of the deadly crocodile, lion, and hippopotamus. Vignettes such as these were a common illustration in Egyptian books of the dead.

The Weighing of the Heart ritual, shown in the Book of the Dead of Sesostris

The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text, used from the beginning of the New Kingdom (around 1550 BCE) to around 50 BCE. The original Egyptian name for the text, transliterated rw nw prt m hrw is translated as Book of Coming Forth by Day. Another translation would be Book of emerging forth into the Light. "Book" is the closest term to describe the loose collection of texts consisting of a number of magic spells intended to assist a dead person's journey through the Duat, or underworld, and into the afterlife and written by many priests over a period of about 1000 years.
