The book of the dead
Ancient Egypt is a fascinating subject. Equally fascinating was the belief that Ancient Egyptians had for the afterlife. You only have to look at how a person was ‘prepared’ after they died to realise they had a tremendous respect for the soul and most definitely believed in some sort of afterlife.

Here is an experiment you can try using a random word generator to compare against your Ovilus results and stack up just how often do random words come up?
