The Book of the Dead is a collection of spells and prayers to be reciting in the afterlife and to be used as a guidance book to a safe journey to the field of reeds (Paradise) where the gods judge you based on your actions in life and how your confessions of sins made during life. We also go into great detail about the processes of mummification where the organs would have been removed from the body, preserved in jars and the body was dried and wrapped in linens. We also touch on colonialism, the British Museum and the ethics behind artifacts and museums. Lots of controversial topics, but there's so much to talk about!
