The Book of the Dead

Chapter 64

Chapter is without vignette. In the Brocklehurst papyrus,

however (see Naville, Todtenbuch, Bd. I. Bl. 36), the Sem priest, wearing a panther’s skin, is seen holding up before the face of the deceased, who stands before him, a small bearded figure like an ushadti. In the Turin papyrus (Lepsius, Todtenbuch, Bl. 15), the priest and the deceased are standing facing each other, and no ceremony is being performed.
Text: (1) THE CHAPTER OF MAKING A MAN TO POSSESS MEMORY IN THE UNDERWORLD. The overseer of the house of the overseer of the seal, Nu, triumphant, the son of the overseer of the house of the overseer of the seal, Amen-hetep, saith :—
