  The Egyptian Book of the Dead -...

  The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the most significant and enigmatic works of ancient Egyptian literature. It is a collection of funerary texts that were intended to guide the soul of the deceased through the afterlife. The texts were not a single work but rather a compilation of spells, hymns, and prayers, which were tailored to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife and to grant protection in the realm of the dead. The Book of the Dead, also known as the "Book of Going Forth by Day," was typically inscribed on papyrus and placed in the tombs of the deceased, often alongside various amulets and offerings to aid the soul's journey. 
  The origins of the Book of the Dead can be traced back to the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts of the Old Kingdom, which were intended for royal burials. Over time, these texts evolved into the more accessible and expansive collection found in the New Kingdom, where it was available for individuals from all social classes. The Book of the Dead represents an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian religion, providing a vivid description of the journey the soul would undergo after death. It was believed that through the proper recitation and understanding of these texts, the deceased could navigate the trials of the underworld, known as Duat, and ultimately reach the afterlife in the presence of the gods. 
  The role of the Book of the Dead in Egyptian religion was deeply intertwined with the belief in Ma’at, the concept of divine order, truth, and justice. The texts emphasized the importance of the deceased’s heart being weighed in the Hall of Ma’at, where it would be measured against the feather of Ma’at to determine whether the soul was worthy of entering the eternal paradise. This idea of judgment after death is a central theme throughout the Book of the Dead and reflects the profound importance of moral conduct and the balance of cosmic forces in Egyptian thought.

  Celia A Slave

  Celia was only fourteen years old when she was acquired by John Newsom, an aging widower and one of the most prosperous and respected citizens of Callaway County, Missouri. The pattern of sexual abuse that would mark their entire relationship began almost immediately. After purchasing Celia in a neighboring county, Newsom raped her on the journey back to his farm. He then established her in a small cabin near his house and visited her regularly. Over the next five years, Celia bore Newsom two children; meanwhile, she became involved with a slave named George and resolved at his insistence to end the relationship with her master. When Newsom refused, Celia one night struck him fatally with a club and disposed of his body in her fireplace. 
   
   
   
  Her act quickly discovered, Celia was brought to trial. She received a surprisingly vigorous defense from her court-appointed attorneys. Nevertheless, the court upheld the tenets of a white social order that wielded almost total control over the lives of slaves. Celia was found guilty and hanged. 
   
   
   
  Melton A. McLaurin uses Celia's story to reveal the tensions that strained the fabric of antebellum southern society. Celia's case demonstrates how one master's abuse of power over a single slave forced whites to make moral decisions about the nature of slavery.
