(via Archaeologists discovered a new papyrus of Egyptian Book of the Dead | Ars Technica)

One of the most famous spells is the "Weighing of the Heart" (designated 125 by scholars), dating to around 1475 BCE, by which time copies of the Book of the Dead were commonly written on papyrus. Anubis would lead the deceased before Osiris, where they would swear they had not committed any of 42 listed "sins," and their heart was weighed on a pair of scales against a feather to determine if they were worthy of a place in the afterlife. (Those who watched Moon Knight will remember a version of this ceremony depicted in one of the later episodes, conducted by the hippo-headed Egyptian goddess of childbirth and fertility, Taweret.) Of the 192 spells currently known—no one manuscript contains them all—there are several protective spells to guard against the damage or loss of the heart, and in one case (30b) imploring the heart not to "betray" its owner during the weighing ritual by "telling lies in the presence of the god."

Copies of the Book of the Dead were made to order by scribes, and the scrolls could be as short as 1 meter (3.2 feet) and as long as 40 meters (about 131 feet). People knew of the existence of such scrolls in the Middle Ages, and assumed that they were religious in nature because they were found in tombs. Karl Richard Lepsius coined the name Book of the Dead in 1842 after translating one such text. The best known example to date is the Papyrus of Ani, discovered in luxor in 1888 and now housed in the British Museum. But such finds are increasingly rare.

New Au lore unlocked???

I legit found a Google doc, of entries I made that was written by the au's Papyrus. Note this au was inspired by Mary Shelly's frankenstien! TW Dehumanization, Mentions of Torture

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Entry #1 It’s been years since my brother and I have been on the surface, as we didn't make it in time to the underground. My brother Sans did his best to protect us and made sure we ate our fill, we are currently in a cave that was once a den for a bear that my brother killed.

. . .

Entry #2 Sans has been teaching me to use magic and how to hunt, he also has been teaching me how to do other things as well. The lessons got harder once he found books from the humans, I like it though it’s nice to learn about the world.

. . .

Entry #3 We moved to an old cabin on Mt. Ebott that Sans found, it was my birthday a few days ago and my brother surprised me with a cake and a Lab kit. He must have found out about my love for science.

. . .

Entry #4 Sans came back injured today, I asked him what happened but he lied about what happened. He must have gone into the village at the foot of the mountain, as I saw the bag of new clothes he hid behind him.

. . .

Entry #5 Me and Sans rebuilt the cabin, it’s bigger now and there is a laboratory now so I can do my experiments safely. Sans asks me what I’m doing… I can’t tell him not yet, maybe later once I have a breakthrough.

. . .

Entry #6 I DID IT! I figured out how to use the human’s magic! But there was a side effect… I can’t feel my left arm but I can fix it, I can’t let Sans know.

. . .

Entry #7 The humans found Sans last night, He came back dusting but I put him on magic IV. I did make a breakthrough with my work but I need a test subject, Sans would be the perfect subject as he is a boss monster… but I’m not sure I will do it.

. . .

Entry #8 I used Sans as the test subject, and it worked but I don’t know how well it worked on him. I needed to get bones from the graveyard in the village to fix Sans, as Sans was missing parts of his body.

. . .

Entry #9 Sans is now known as Project-Stein, as I can’t work on him knowing he was once my brother. But now I can without the guilt eating at my soul, as he isn’t my brother now but a test subject of my work. Even if I never really saw him as my brother.

. . .

Entry #10 My work is growing, thanks to using ir to get fresh human bodies and souls. I tested to see what different human souls do to my lab rat, It was interesting but I did lose sight in my right eye but it was worth it to know what I got from it.

. . .

Entry #11 I made sure that beast understood who was in charge, that bastard tried to escape so I broke his arms and legs. I made him stay like that before replacing them as I made sure to make him dependent on me first, I did it by starving him and then making him repeat what he did wrong and told them I didn’t want to be mean but his actions force him to and the brat believed me. Pathic but it’s working.

. . .

Entry #12 The screams of the subject were nice, I may have to add that to the schedule to use as a stress relief. It was cute how it begged me to stop, but I may have to add some more fun to the sessions

. . .

Entry #13 My test subject finally broke which makes it so easy to use it how I please and do tests, The kindness soul trait makes it submissive and obedient it listens so well now. Its screams are fun to hear, its so delicious.

. . .

Entry #14 I welded the tubes and tanks onto my lab rat, it made it easier to control him and his magic. I also figured out that the different souls allowed him to get stronger or weaker, the soul of Determination mixed with three different souls of Kindness, Bravery, and Perseverance made it almost impossible to kill. My work is pulling good results…

. . .

Entry #15 It’s now been around a thousand years since many human kids have passed through the mountain and into the underground, it was funny because I’ve grown used to being alone as the test subject doesn’t count as it is now just a play toy for me. It’s nice to work on my projects while playing with my toy, even though hearing the sounds it makes is music to my ears.

. . .

Entry #16 The bastard bit me so I pulled its teeth out one by one, I also took its arms and legs before beating it until half its health was gone. I also didn’t feed it as it didn’t deserve what I fed it, it was begging and whimpering for my forgiveness but it won’t get it anytime soon.
