The Book of the Dead

The second largest button as you spiral in on the Infinity Jukebox (the spiral foreshadows upcoming revelations) leads you to the above graphic from the papyrus of Ani, a Theban scribe from the 19th dynasty (Ramesses the Great and Seti - the big New Kingdom hitters!) The graphic is animated; the incense burner flames flicker several times before you are ushered back to the beginning jukebox.

Here is the original artwork (plate 17). A wonderful artifice, here you can see the Ba-bird bringing its shen-ring (sort of a psychic USB flash drive - note larger ones form the cartouche around a pharaoh's name) from the 'Ka' (Ani's body in the spirit world) to the 'Ba' (Ani's body protected in his tomb). The Ba bird is a minor helper god in Egyptian mythology (one of their versions of a cherub) and keeps the two bodies synchronized with energy and information, until they join together for periodic festivals invoked in the central worship centers. 

Ani's papyrus is wonderfully worked, with parts of the 'Book of the Dead' personalized with his particular information (they can leave out the heavy-duty parts reserved for the pharaoh). The information was over a thousand years old at this point - the expert who deciphered Ani's papyrus noted that the scribes made mistakes transcribing the verses, since the language was archaic to them and they didn't really know the exact point of many things they were customizing for Ani.

Plate 17 has the instructions for activating a large gold and jewel shen-ring worn as an amulet around Ani's neck, to be able to interact with the Ba-bird. Which brings us to the question: where is Ani's body and tomb? Nobody knows! Ani's tomb was robbed by illegal activity in the 19th century, and a Brit paid the robbers for the papyrus. The authorities intercepted the robbers and sealed their houses - and the Brit invited the authorities to a sumptuous dinner, while his minions tunneled in to the house and took out the papyrus, which was then smuggled to Britain.

Big laughs! Until you think of Ani; for thousands of years he was safe with his amulet and his gorgeous instructions. Of course Ani's mummy was stripped of its bandages as the robbers roughly searched for valuables. 

Which lesson here would be the one Roger wanted us to keep on our personal shen-ring?
