stephanie: I looked into the translations of some of the text and they are rather extensive.  Usually, the images portray what is in the text, like the legend of the the princess and the weighing of the heart with the jackal headed Anubis. Also, because it has been translated by multiple people over time, many of the translations contradict each other.  However the images provides the viewer a chance to look at their own interpretation of what they believe would help them in their journey to the next life.
