Egyptian archaeologists recently found a lost 3,500-year-old cemetery containing mummies, statues, and the long-lost Book of the Dead. The archaeologists found the book along with several jars holding the organs of the deceased at the New Kingdom cemetery in central Egypt. The cemetery dates back more than 3,500 years and features mummies, canopic jars, amulets, statues, and a papyrus scroll containing a portion of the Book of the Dead that measures more than 13 metres long.
"If it's that long and well-preserved, then it's certainly a great and interesting find," Lara Weiss, CEO of the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum in Germany, told Live Science. According to her colleagues at The University of Chicago, finding a copy in the grave it was originally buried in is "very rare". The book's name may sound ominous, but the proper translation, “The Chapters/Book of Going Forth By Day”, gives it a bit more AVBOB-ish vibes at least.
