I saw the Book of the Dead up close and personal at the Met in NYC a couple of years ago. Just being in it's presence sent tingles up my spine.

Very interesting. From a young age, especially as a student of the Arts, I have grown up from childhood visiting the mummies. I’ve always been drawn to it - but never feared it. I have heard legends from Egyptians themselves, when you start reading the Book of the Dead, or texts from it, you have to take extra precaution to protect yourself - it’s a hidden knowledge, only gifted to few or a knowledge that you’ll end up possessing that could be “dangerous;” the reason why it is no where to be found in accuracy, but only in speculation, in Truth—if you are most fortunate.
