The Book of the Dead CHAPTER V / CHAPTER VI / CHAPTER VII / CHAPTER VIII; lines 792-861 confidence: high
The region resembles an Egyptian farm: the deceased ploughs, reaps, and drives oxen; Thoth introduces the deceased into Sekhet Heteput/Field of Reeds; ancestors are present; aakhu reap tall grain, and two self-moving spirit boats carry the beautified without fatigue.
