[QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [QB] The Hunefer papyrus is a regular 'Book of the Dead', its text should be the same as most other books of the dead, and as far as I know ir does not contain anything about southern origins or 'mountains of the moon'. I have seen the original papyrus at the British Museum, where it was recently part of the Book of the Dead exhibition. The illustrations show the deceased Hunefer as reddy-brown skinned caucasoid, and his wife and female relations as light skinned. The gods, interestingly, are also mostly shown lighter skinned than Hunefer himself (apart from Osiris who is dark green), which counts against the notion that Egyptians ascribed Ethiopian origins to their gods.
