Description: This piece contains an excerpt from Coffin Text Spell 714, one of many ancient Egyptian funerary spells written on coffins in the First Intermediate Period and Middle Kingdom. The spells were a way for people to leave a message after their death so that they would be remembered in the world of the living and protected in the world of the dead, and this specific example describes this person’s force of will and pride in the way they lived.
