Serpents and Spells in Egyptian Funerary Rituals

We travel deeper into the stars. Unas’ Pyramid Texts, on the walls of his burial chamber, lay out protections against serpents and dangers. They also introduce offerings, to sustain the King’s soul and nourish the gods.

Includes passages in English translation and ancient Egyptian.
