I would like to point out that the Egyptians knew it as "The Book of Going Forth by Day." It was a book of instructions and spells on how to get through the underworld each night so their ka (soul) and ba (mind) could return to their body (that is, the mummy). It was archaeologists who called it the Book of the Dead.

I actually have some better, more close up ones, but didn't post them because there were too many. I'll send them to you! (via harui)
