This is a new track done by me:
The Book of the Dead (known to the ancient Egyptians as prt m hrw 'Coming Forth by Day') comes from 'The Papyrus of Ani', written in 1240 BC.
The papyrus goes through many of the spells used to be able to survive the afterlife, as well as hymns of praise various gods. This collection has come to be known as The Book of the Dead, though it is not a book, per se. The spells were written both on papyrus and on the walls of tombs.

  • The point--Egypt was run by lighter skinner Pharaohs and darker skinned Pharaohs, but since our only proof is based on ancient paintings and writings... we'll actually NEVER know, so there's really no sense in arguing. I think people need to just set aside this whole racism, Egypt was black, Egypt was white, God is black, God is white... and just accept the fact that Egypt was an amazing civilization that accomplished and did a lot of great things!

  • good point i heard that the 10 commandments originated from the book of the dead

see all

  • its not about race issues, its about truth. why didn't any body say stop the race issues why they came to the new world with a white picture of Jesus... you people want to come on youtube and enjoy Egyptian culture wit the mind set the its white. but you cant come and enjoy it finding out, or having to face the fact that it is indeed BLACK... now THAT'S RACIST.

  • @DSVOP are you for real. you say that the god RA attracted people to the land to take it over & kill people. that does not make sense.. its not about race issues, its about truth. why didn't any body say stop the race issues when they came to the new world with a white picture of Jesus... you people want to come on youtube and enjoy Egyptian culture wit the mind set the its white. but you cant come and enjoy it finding out, or having to face the fact that it is indeed BLACK... now THAT'S RACIST.

  • this real

  • SMILES FROM THE SUN!

  • Stop with the race issues, people, that is your problem. Egypt is the Land of RA, and attracted many to its borders, like Rome, Egypt was a non racist society. More in tune with the desires of its gods than minor human problems with STATUS. Thank you :-)
