Book of the Dead of Kha
The deceased Kha and his wife Merit worship Osiris, Lord of the Underworld and Judge of the Dead.
The deceased needed all the help he or she could get on his or her long journey to the afterlife, a place full of evil creatures, ferocious animals, magical portals and lakes of fire. The Book of the Dead, which were sort of guides written on papyrus for Egyptians’ afterlife, contain formulas that should be recited to activate the power of magical amulets.
New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1386-1349 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Turin. S. 8316/03 = S.8438
