Egyptologist Rune Nyord examines the Egyptian Book of the Dead beyond its familiar reputation as a guide to the afterlife. He considers how prayers and ritual directions may have been misunderstood through Christian ideas about judgment and salvation, then proposes interpretations grounded in ancient Egyptian culture. The talk is presented online and lasts approximately one hour.
