I was reading this:
Quote:
And as far as the Ten Commandments, they are taken outright from Spell 125 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. [S149] What the Book of the Dead phrased "I have not stolen" became "Thou shall not steal," "I have not killed" became "Thou shall not kill," "I have not told lies" became "Thou shall not bear false witness" and so forth. [S150]
This was on the Zeitgeist site, I have the E.A. Wallis Budge (The Papyrus of Ani) Egyptian Book of the Dead does anyone know what page this spell 125 would be found on? Or does anyone have this same book? Or what chapter the Egyptians would have put it under? I love this. I am amazed at Ancient Egyptian history and love mummies so I am finding this enthralling to say the least.
