Funerary Texts (Scriptures and Texts)

Ancient Egyptian texts written to guide the dead through the afterlife, such as the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, the Book of the Dead, the Amduat and the Book of Gates. An entry belongs here when its article presents a text for the funeral and the next world. The group page lists the texts of one canon or kind together so that a reader can see which works a tradition gathers under a single head.
