Studio Fundraiser! Prop Book of the Dead from The Kut 'I Want You Maniac' music video.
An actual book, decked out in rubber snakes and with an Egyptian hieroglyphic image (from Egypt) on the front. Used in the opening scenes of the video to summon the dead to awaken, as a prop version of the infamous 'Book of the Dead'.
" The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text that guides the deceased through the afterlife. It consists of a collection of spells, prayers, and incantations designed to protect the deceased from dangers and help them navigate the underworld, ensuring a safe journey. The text includes instructions for dealing with various obstacles, deities, and judgment rituals, with the ultimate goal of achieving immortality and union with the gods. It was often written on papyrus and placed in the tombs of the dead, making it an essential part of ancient Egyptian burial practices."
