If you are a Mummy trilogy movie fan you know the phrase:
No! You must not read from the book! The Mummy (1999) Adventure
A statement and action that unleased the horrors of the powerful mummy priest. They read from the “book of the dead,” and all hell broke loose. To say the least.
The Getty Villa and the “Book of the Dead”
I recently went to one of my favorite museums, The Getty Villa. The Getty Villa is an art museum located on the Malibu coast of California. What is so unique about The Getty Villa is its vast collections of Greek and Roman antiquities housed in a re-created Pompeiian seaside Roman villa.

During my visit the Egyptian “Book of the Dead” was on display for a special exhibit. Something I was very excited to see and surprised by its length and great condition.
