To the Egyptians, life after death played an important role to their daily life on earth. Up until the day of their death the Egyptians prepared for what was to come next. As a guide for the Egyptians to their afterlife, the Book of the Dead was constructed with spells, magical formulas, and passwords in order to pass the tests to get to their final destination. The Book of the Dead should be preserved so that further generations can also be well informed of the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
