book of the dead

Egyptian Museum in the Castello sforzesco in Milan, Italy. A papyrus displaying a copy of the Book of the Dead, in hieratic writing, dating from the Ptolemaic (i.e. late) period. (I managed to do my best to reproduce it all decently (somewhat), notwithstanding the fact that using tripods to shoot in the museum is forbidden). Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, February 14 2008
