Mysteries of history: the Egyptian book of the dead Bashny.Net

For 3,000 years there's been such a powerful civilization as Ancient Egypt. Although today scientists have achieved much to learn about this culture, there are things that put science to a standstill. The ancient Egyptians were so devoted to esoteric practice that to this day, many messages are not decrypted. One of these mysteries is the book of the dead, which dozens of years trying to unravel the brightest minds. They seek answers to questions such as: why is this book the greatest pharaohs were buried? What I wanted to convey to the Egyptians this book? Why for the people of Ancient Egypt spells from this book was so important?

Book of the dead is no less important attribute of Ancient Egypt than the pyramids. It is worth noting that this book is already the order of 4500 years. As for the book itself, and in all known copies, there are four sections. The first tells the story of how to protect the body when it is in the grave. Second on the journey to the underworld, and the third of God's judgment, and the fourth will be acquainted with how to continue to exist after the adoption of the gods.

In the Theban version of the Book of the dead written in the hymn to Osiris, God of the dead. It clearly indicates several important characteristics of each of the deceased.
