Valley of the Kings
Tomb of Rameses VI - Book of Caverns, an important ancient Egyptian netherworld book of the New Kingdom which originated in the Ramessid Period (the 20th Dynasty). As an underworld book, it seems almost to emphasize that previous text had been too soft on those deceased who fail their judgment in the afterlife, while at the same time focusing also on the rewards of those who do. It is, in fact, one of our best sources on the ancient Egyptian concept of Hell. Female figure is Nut, "the mysterious one"
