Funerary Texts

Funerary texts are written materials placed with the deceased in ancient burials to guide and protect them in the afterlife. These texts often include spells, prayers, and instructions that help the soul navigate challenges, secure divine favor, and achieve a favorable existence beyond death. Found in cultures such as ancient Egypt, they serve both religious and cultural purposes, reflecting beliefs about life after death and providing a spiritual roadmap to ensure safe passage and eternal continuation.
