Last but not least, read through the British Museum’s brochure on their “Egyptian Book of the Dead” exhibit:
ANCIENT_EGYPTIAN_BOOK_OF_THE_DEAD_The_BP.pdf
When you’re done, write a 350 – 450 word summary of the main terms, concepts and ideas of the brochure. The point of this exercise is simply to familiarize you with the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and to consider what it can tell us about ancient Egypt.
