The Book of the Dead, or the Egyptian Bible, is mostly made up of hymnals and praises to their gods and goddesses. It begins with a very long praise to their almighty god Ra. It then has a hymn of praise to the god of the dead Osiris. Next is a prayer said at funerals that are supposed to get a being into heaven. That is followed with more praise to Osiris the scribe. It is followed by a explanation of the weighing of the heart. It states that a heart must weigh less than the feather of truth. If it is more than the feather of truth than a demon goddess will devour the soul.

Then is a list of the seven Arits. Then another prayer to be said at the gates of Osiris. Then a speech of the Priest. Then a section on the Judges of Anu. Then comes a prayer to be said over the deceased persons body. Then a prayer to Osiris. Then giving the heart to the god of the Dead: Osiris.
