The "snake in the belly" refers to a belief in ancient Egyptian mythology that a snake would devour the heart of a deceased person during the judgment of the dead. The "Book of the Dead" was a collection of spells and prayers that were believed to help guide the deceased through the afterlife and protect them from harm, including the "snake in the belly."

In ancient Egyptian beliefs, other harms that the deceased had to protect themselves from in the afterlife included demons, serpents, and the judgment of the god Osiris. The "Book of the Dead" provided guidance and protection against these dangers.
