The papyrus, 1847cm long, part of Iuefankh's grave goods, arrives in Turin with the Drovetti collection. The name Book of the Dead was coined by Richard Lepsius, a German scholar, to indicate the set of funerary formulas that, starting from the New Kingdom, were written on papyrus and included in the funeral kit to guide the deceased to the afterlife. Thanks to the good conservation of the papyrus, Lepsius was able to study it starting to classify the text into chapters and creating a reference canon still used today.
