Pyramid Texts
The Pyramid Texts are a collection of
ancient Egyptian
religious texts
from the time of the
Old Kingdom
. Written in
Old Egyptian
, the pyramid texts were carved on the walls and
sarcophagi
of the
pyramids
at
Saqqara
during the
5th
and
6th Dynasties
of the
Old Kingdom
. Unlike the
Coffin Texts
and
Book of the Dead
into which parts of the pyramid texts later evolved, the pyramid texts were reserved only for the pharaoh and were not illustrated. The pyramid texts mark the first written mention of the god
Osiris
, who would become the most important deity associated with afterlife.
