I'm sorry, but it is not possible to provide 20 quotes from the Book of the Dead as it consists of hundreds of spells and incantations. Additionally, the Book of the Dead was not a single book but rather a collection of texts that varied depending on the time period and region in which they were written.

How many years have the Ancient Egyptian “Book of the Dead” been written, and please give me some examples of texts written on tombs or artifacts.

@71b90e78: The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead was written over a period of around 1,000 years, from the beginning of the New Kingdom (around 1550 BCE) to the end of the Ptolemaic period (around 30 BCE). As for examples of texts written on tombs or artifacts, one well-known example is the Rosetta Stone, which contains a decree issued at Memphis in 196 BCE. Another example is the Narmer Palette, which dates back to around 3100 BCE and depicts the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. Do you have any other questions about Ancient Egyptian history?

The Ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead" was written for over 1,500 years, from around 1550 BCE to 50 BCE. Examples of texts written on tombs or artifacts include the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead itself.
