Djoser papyrus – Cairo
Dsr
Ranke 1, pg. 406, 6
Also known as Djeser, Zoser
Provenance Saqqara
Ptolemaic period, c. 250 BC
This is one of the most viewed papyri in the museum. Almost all guides show the weighing of the heart ritual here. The papyrus itself is heavily damaged. On the Totentbuch project, many of the other fragments (S.R. IV 934 – JE 95837) can be seen on excellent photographic material. Because of the popularity of this exhibited fragment, I have included it in the database.
