Egyptian Book of the Dead

CHAPTER XLIV.

CHAPTER XLIV. Chapter whereby one dieth not a second time. Let the Cavern of Putrata( 1 ) be opened for me, where the dead fall into the darkness, but the Eye of Horus supporteth me, and Apuat reareth me up. I hide myself among you, O ye Stars that set not. My front is that of Râ, my face is revealed, according to the words of Thoth; my heart is in its place, my speech is intelligent. I am Râ himself, I am not to be ignored, I am not to be molested. Thy father liveth for thee, O Son of Nut! I am thy son Horus, I see thy mysteries, and am crowned as King of the gods. I die not a second time in the Netherworld. Note. 1.
