What reading level is A Guide to the Exhibition Galleries of the British Museum (Bloomsbury) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A set consisted of four jars, dedicated to the four genii of the dead, and was placed under or near the bier (see p. 42). For the poor, models only were used ; and finally small wax figures of the genii were laid on the body under the bandages, and the use of jars was discontinued.
Wall-Cases 81-92. A large collection of Ushabti Figures (so called as the " answerers " to the bidding of the deceased). Few, if any, are older than about B.C. 1700. The god represented by such figures is Osiris, car...rying a hoe, piciaxe and basket. They were deposited in the tomb to do, for the dead, the field-labours in the under-world, decreed by the god Osiris, judge of the dead.
Wall-Cases 97-102. Wooden figures of Ptah-Socharis-Osiris, a triad of deities connected with the resurrection of the body and the future life. About B.C. 1400 these figures or their stands were made hollow, and papyri inscribed with religious compositions were placed in them. At a later period cavities were sunk iu the stands, to hold papyri and small portions of the human body.
