I agree that The Egyptian Book of the Dead should be preserved for future generations because it does give us insight on the ancient Egyptian culture, religion and traditions. I think it is also important because it shows the value the society had on the community as a whole for allowing anyone who could afford it the same eternal happiness and journey as the elitist and royal. I found it interesting that although the Egyptians are passionate curious about the afterlife they don't want to focus of the actual death but more so on the celebration of the next journey in the afterlife. the question of what happens to use once deceased will also be significant, I think it is important to embrace, learn, and respect all the different possibilities of this concept. You stated that the book includes spells, charms, passwords, hints, and magical formulas, in your research did find out exactly the interpretation of any of these and how exactly they could be used to guide the dead to the next life?
