The Papyrus of Ani, Chapter 15

Copyright 1997 by Neil Parker.

Text:

Adoration of Osiris, lord of eternity, Wen-nefer, and Harmachis numerous of forms and great of images, and Ptah-Seker-Atum in Heliopolis, lord of the coffin,

He reaches Memphis; they are the gods who lead the netherworld; they protect you when you set in Nut.

Isis embraces you in peace, and drives away foes from the entrance of your ways.

You turn your face to Amentet, and brighten the Two Lands with electrum.

Those who lie down [i.e. the dead] stand up to see you, and they breathe air;

They see your face like the rising of the disk of the sun in its horizon, and their hearts are peaceful because of what you have done; you are lord of eternity and infinity.
