Almost every inch of each scroll is covered with tiny, crabbed Egyptian hieroglyphs. The hieratic script can be dated to the Thirteenth Dynasty, circa 1782\u20131700 B.C. Further study will suggest that the state of preservation is remarkable, perhaps even miraculous, considering the ravages typically inflicted upon such texts by both time and human abuse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The typed copy is more mundane; just over two-hundred sheets of low quality typewriter paper, typed in Dutch and English on both sides, with frequent strike-outs and black ink corrections in a sloppy hand (also in Dutch) and hastily penciled numbering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/masks.germanitas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/papyrusscroll.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-426 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/masks.germanitas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/papyrusscroll-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"papyrusscroll\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masks.germanitas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/papyrusscroll-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/masks.germanitas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/papyrusscroll.jpg 557w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>CONTENTS AFTER QUICK SKIMMING:<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a set of rituals dedicated to the goddess Bast, including a complete selection of temple rituals and hymns lauding the goddess\u2019 role as a champion of Ra. Other sections deal with the worship of other Egyptian gods, with emphasis placed on Isis, Sobek, and Set, as well as lesser known beings like the carrion-feasters of Anubis, the \u201cBlack Pharaoh,\u201d and something called the Faceless Master of the Sands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Readers of the Dutch translation will recognize an unfortunately large number of errors or contradictions in the translated text. Comparison to the original version confirms that there are pervasive translation errors throughout the Dutch text.<\/p>\n<h4>QUOTES:<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Stop!<br \/>\nDo not move!<br \/>\nDo not move, O perilous<br \/>\none!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do not attack me, do not<br \/>\ndevour my flesh!<br \/>\nMay I have to tell your<br \/>\nname to the Raging One<br \/>\nwho sent you: Devourer<br \/>\nis that name.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>My countenance is toward<br \/>\nthe East.
