Funerary Papyrus of Nauny — Judgment Scene

This papyrus fragment features a long, horizontal row of Egyptian deities standing side-by-side, facing toward the right. Above the figures, distinct bands of hieroglyphs provide the names and titles of the gods, documenting a portion of the funerary liturgy meant to guide the deceased through the afterlife.

This work represents the complex Egyptian cosmology and the theological concept of the afterlife as a highly ordered, structured transition, which served as a primary foundation for later Hellenistic and Hermetic mystery traditions concerning the soul's journey.
