Pyramid texts (English)

Japanese: ピラミッド・テキスト(英語表記)Pyramid texts
Pyramid texts (English)
One of the ancient Egyptian funerary texts. It is a collection of spells recited during funeral and memorial ceremonies to aid in the resurrection and eternal life of the deceased king, and is so named because they were inscribed on the walls of the tombs of pyramids at the end of the Old Kingdom (those of Unas of the 5th Dynasty, Pepi I, Merenre I, and Pepi II of the 6th Dynasty, and Ibi and the three queens of Pepi II of the 8th Dynasty). There is no unified text, and the spells used vary from pyramid to pyramid. Currently, 759 chapters are known from a collection by German Egyptologist Kurt Sethe (1869-1934).
