To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first is the god of the Night Sun, to whose kingdom the tomb belonged, and whose dominions its inscriptions describe, while the scarab is an emblem of the Morning Sun wakening to new life, and is at the same time a symbol of the renewed life of man after his earthly death.
The order of the scenes in these representations 24 REALMS OF THE DEAD of the under-world is generally the same. The reliefs run along the walls in three rows, one above another. The middle one shows the river of the unde...r-world on which the sun-boat sails, sometimes carried along by the stream, sometimes by spells, and sometimes towed by spirits subject to the god. Above and below are pictures of the banks of the river. Ahead of the boat and on the banks stand, sit and lie, in bewildering variety, the innumerable demons that people the fields of the night. Sometimes they appear in human form, sometimes as animals, especially as snakes, whose presence was naturally to be expected in an underground kingdom. Sometimes they appear as cynocephali, which in the Nile Valley were often associated with the sun.
