Iuefankh's Book of the Dead papyrus
The nearly 19m long completely preserved papyrus (Cat. 1791) contains – starting from right to left – 165 chapters of the so-called “Book of the Dead”, a compilation of several formulae aiming at the guidance, protection and resurrection of the deceased in the Afterlife. In order to achieve these objectives certain aspects are required after the embalming and procession to the tomb, such as: the preservation and nourishing of the body, the ability of transformation, the justification and protection of the deceased and the possession of knowledge. These are the themes of the 165 chapters written in cursive-hieroglyphs for Iuefankh, the son of Tasheretemenu.
