The underside of this stone heart scarab is inscribed with a short version of the “heart formula” spell from Chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead:
Do not stand as a witness against me…
Do not act against me with the gods…
You are my ka, which was in my body,
the protector who made my limbs healthy.
Go forth to the happy place towards which we are hurrying.
Do not make my name stink to the gods who made mankind.
Do not tell lies about me in the presence of the great god.
See, you will be selected to exist.
