Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of the Egyptian Book of the Dead?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The depiction of the life and accomplishments of deceased pharaohs l

Explanation:

The Book of Dead is collection funerary texts of ancient Egyptians.

It wasn't actually a single or canonical scripture, but the book consisting of texts with spells to assist the dead that was places in the coffin or burial chamber.

Some people commissioned their own ones, so some had depictions of pharaohs' lives.

• Option A is false because The Book of Dead is painted with usual Egyptian style with figures, feet, and head in the profile, and the body is frontal which is not naturally recognizable.
• B is also false as figures always varied in size regarding the period and status in society.
• D also is false as tomb builders were everyday people and it is very little known about their lives over the archeological findings, so the sacred texts did not have descriptions of them.
