Acient Egypt
The 'Book of the Dead' is an ancient Egyptian religious book. The book consists of over 2000 mythical characters and was printed on scrolls made out of papayas and buried with a deceased person's sarcophagus. The book literally means 'The coming (or going)' and consists of spells, charms, passwords and so on which was aimed for the deceased to use in the after life.
Books of dead were usually filled with illustrations of the deceased and their tests in the afterlife.
