merely a transfer from such a body which we see to a glorifying body in the kingdom of Osiris.furthermore,the book is just a collection of spells to counteract actions of evil-spirits which try to prevent this BA or glorifying soul from reaching Fields of Peace which are the real kingdom of gods.The most important part of this book is what is called negative confession in the hall of double MAAT i.e.two godesses of truth , where a person must declare his innocence before 42 god.This declaration costitutes basic moral values of humankind uptill now e.g.1- I have not done violence 2-I have not commited theft 3-I have not acted deceitfully 4-I have not uttered falsehood 5-I have not uttered falsehood 6-I have not uttered evil words 7-I have attacked no man 8- I have not laid waste the lands which have been ploughed 9-I have not defiled the wife of a man 10-I have not commited any sin against purity 11-I have not struck fear into any man 12-I have not been a man of anger 13-I have not made myself deaf to the words of right and truth. 14-I have made no man to weep. 15-I have not judged hastily 16-I have not acted with deceit and I have not worked wickedness 17-I have not cursed the god 18- I have not increased my wealth except with justly things.
1754:(For future reference, new discussion topics go at the bottom of the talk page.) I don't see what's objectionable about this passage. It only says "For every 'I have not...' in the Negative Confession, it is possible to read an unexpressed 'Thou shalt not'. While the Ten Commandments of Jewish and Christian ethics are rules of conduct laid down by a perceived divine revelation, the Negative Confession is more a divine enforcement of everyday morality." The first sentence is pretty obviously true, and because the Egyptians didn't have ethical codes laid out by divine revelation, the second sentence more or less follows from it. Besides, if a statement in a Knowledge article is based on the consensus of scholars in the relevant field of expertise, then it is neutral by Knowledge's definition, and as far as I know, this is the consensus. 1171: 328: 649: 583: 1406:
place poetry, prayer, or spiritual prose on tombstones or in ceremonies. My classmates at Cambridge, their parents and grandparents would no doubt refer to eulogies or whatever prose or poetry was relevant to their lives in this way, not as 'spells', I trust men and women of ancient Eygpt were not significantly less textured in their own appreciation of life. This text may offer a glimpse into an ancient literary canon that should not be trivialized in one stroke as 'spells' - this trivializing limits rather than liberates thinking about the text's significance.

Kingdom, can hardly be called a version at all because there is no real standard text. And the so-called "Saite" recension is really just a fossilized compilation used much later and is evolved from New Kingdom examples: Raymond O. Faulkner, The Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Book of Going forth by Day. The First Authentic Presentation of the Complete Papyrus of Ani translated by Raymond Faulkner, edited by Eva von Dassow, with contributions by Carol Andrews and Ogden Goelet (Chronicle Books, San Francisco), c 1994.

The section on "Judgement" with the analogy to "the Ten Commandments of Jewish and Christian ethics" seems to summarise an opinionated source as if it were simply factual.

I do not see how the english word "dead" has come out of the translation. The word "dead" is by no means equivalent to what the Khemet referred to as leaving life. It is clear that there is much more to it. Simplifying the name pf texts as something to do with modern death greatly diminishes the true

Spells are deadly serious business to people who believe in them! Likewise incantations that will subdue the demons you will meet along the way. One day Christian mythology will be seen by all for the ridiculous childishness it is, and any references to it by those living 5000 years from now may well

Why the focus on 'spells'? This trivializes the text's content & context. Why not consider a new paradigm: the translated text reads more like poetry, consistent with what we know of Egyptian culture. Poetry suitable for certain occasions. In contemporary cultures it is not uncommon for people to

some different books of the dead, in fact nearly every New Kingdom book of the dead is a unique "version" as is already mentioned in the article.

As for the difference between a hieratic and cursive hieroglyphic version that is different from the Theban recension, there is no difference. Any "version" could be written in either way, so how is this to be classified as a different text? This would be akin to saying a bible set in Times New Roman

Here's a funny continuation of this saga. This is a game of chinese whispers going through history.

Which Lepsius then translated

I just removed some text from the article claiming four different versions of the book of the dead.

by Robert K. Ritner, 1993, pp. 236–249). The term the Egyptian used for the divisions of the Book of the Dead meant something more like "spell" than "chapter", as funerary texts were believed to have magical effects, and their texts could be re-adapted for use by the living (Ritner 1993, pp. 41–42,

into German as 'Tötenbuch' or again translated into English, 'Book of the Dead'. It doesn't end there. In Tibet, Walter Evans-Wentz had the Bardo To Dol translated, and thought it was 'like the Egyptian Book Of The Dead'. And thus, he called the Bardo Todol 'The Tibetan Book Of The Dead'.

In other words, something completely different in wording and meaning. Orientalising has meant that Ancient Egypt was re-framed as a culture obsessed with death rather than life, including immortality. It was consciously contrasted with Greek obsession with youth and vitality.

As may be, but what's the relevance to this article? "Book of the Dead" is by far the name by which this is most widely known in the English language, and that's not a translation of the original Egyptian, it's a translation of Lepsius' 1842 German rendering.
