The Book of the Cave of Treasures
And in the days of Nimrod, the mighty man (or giant), a fire appeared which ascended from the earth, and Nimrod went down, and looked at it, and worshipped it, and he established priests to minister there, and to cast incense from it.

The Mummy
Museum officials tell us that mummies get more attention from museum-goers than any other ancient objects. Although many Egyptian customs and practices were to be found in other parts of Africa, mummification is unique to Egypt, and the scale on which it was practiced is found nowhere else in the world. Its uniqueness is only the beginning of its fascinating story. It was practiced in Egypt for the four thousand years of the Dynastic Period. For four thousand years the preservation of the embalmed body, or mummy, was the chief end and aim of every Egyptian! The greater part of the wealth of Egypt during this time was devoted to mummification and what went along with it. - Jacket flap.

The Book Of The Dead
The Book of the Dead is a collection of religious writings from ancient Egypt that were inscribed on papyrus and buried with the dead to help them in the afterlife. Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, an English Egyptologist who worked for the British Museum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, translated and assembled the book. One of the most thorough and commonly used translations of The Book of the Dead, including transcriptions, translations, and annotations in hieroglyphic writing, is Budge's. The book includes charms and prayers meant to guide the departed through the afterlife and help them achieve everlasting life in the Field of Reeds. Along with hymns and writings describing the beginning of the universe, the function of the gods in Egyptian mythology, and the rites and customs of Egyptian funeral religion, it also contains passages that depict the creation of the world.
