In the =Book of Gates=, a somewhat similar work, the road from earth to heaven is marked by a series of Gates through which the deceased hoped to pass. The texts, which are fully illustrated, describe the progress of the Boat of the Sun-god to the Kingdom of Osiris, the Judgment in the Hall of Osiris, the life of the beatified in the Elysian Fields, and the punishment of the wicked and of the foes of the Sun-god by dismemberment and burning. Following these comes a set of magical texts and pictures which describe and illustrate the ceremonies which were performed daily to make the sun to rise. They show that the Egyptians used to make a model of the sun, and place it in a boat, and then bring to it arrows to represent rays, and disks to represent the hours; fire was next kindled with the fire-stick and applied to the model, and appropriate formulas having been recited, the body of the sun was believed to be reconstituted. [Illustration: PLATE II. Scenes and texts from the Sixth Section of the Book of What is in the Other World. From the sarcophagus of King Nekht-Ḥeru-ḥebt, B.C. 378. [Southern Egyptian Gallery, Bay 25, No. 923.]] =10.= As an example of Rituals may be mentioned the famous =Daily Ritual of the Divine Cult=, the texts of which were inscribed upon papyrus and cut on the walls of temples, _e.g._, Abydos. From this we learn that the king was supposed to perform daily a series of elaborate ceremonies in connection with the statue of Ȧmen, and to present to it unguents, wine, incense, articles of sacred apparel, etc. By means of these he entered into communion with the god, who bestowed upon him his vital power, strength, and spiritual qualities. =11.= =Hymnology= is well represented by the hymns to the gods Rā, Rā-Harmachis, Temu and Osiris, which are found in the great Papyrus of Ani in the British Museum (No. 10,470), and by the fine =Hymn to the Nile=, of which two copies are preserved in the British Museum (Sallier II, No. 10,182, and Anastasi VII, No. 10,222). Of somewhat different character, though equally interesting, are the Hymns to Ȧmen contained in the Anastasi Papyrus II (No. 10,243). Under this head may be grouped the =Litany of Osiris= in the Papyrus of Ani, and the =Addresses of Horus= to his father Osiris in the Papyrus of Nebseni (No. 9900).
