Coffins texts

The meaning of the word “Mutton” is where the deceased is buried, and the body of the pyramids appeared in the Old Kingdom.

The contents of the coffins began to appear in the first transitional period, after the end of the Old Kingdom and before the beginning of the Middle Kingdom, as they were considered an extension of the pyramids’ bodies. Still, the bodies of the pyramids were restricted to the kings only; as for the contents of the coffins, the common people participated in the process of codifying the spiritual sciences.

And with the end of the old state era and the entry of the first transitional age, and the country’s passage in a state of tension and vibration it had the greatest impact on changing people’s beliefs about the nature of the king. Some found that the king is human beings like them, so people must be immortal, like kings, and from here, the people became at work Ali to please his other life and decorate their coffins like kings.

And some texts and incantations were placed on coffins to preserve the body of the deceased, and the texts of coffins were intended to guarantee the eternal life of the deceased.

This is an example of some formulas that are found in coffins.
