Book of the Dead in 1000 Pieces

One Thousand Pieces Standing Between You and Eternal Paradise

The ancient Egyptians had a very specific idea of what happened after death — and it involved a jackal-headed priest, a heart weighed against a feather, a colossal chaos serpent named Apep, and a frankly demanding series of challenges before you made it to Aaru. This puzzle puts you right in the middle of it.

Assembled, the 1,000-piece illustration maps the full journey through the Duat — the Egyptian underworld — from the funeral rites at the tomb to the Hall of Two Truths and beyond. The included concertina fold-out gives you the full picture: an introduction to the history of the Book of the Dead, a guide to navigating the underworld, and a key to all eighteen vignettes, each paired with a real spell from the scrolls. Just in case you need to charm a demon or two.
