About the Egyptian Book of the Dead...did you know that there isn't just one 'book of the dead'?The Book of the Dead was just a name given to the different books written for various people. Each person paid to have a personal instruction manual written for them for after their death by a priest. There are actually many different books, each written for the individual.The Tibetan Book of the Dead, of which you say was a plagarized (if that is what you were refering to, than if not, forgive me) is nothing like the Egyptian one, so there could have been no plagarizing. The Tibetan book (of which there is only one, and not many different ones)uses totally different cosmologies and concepts, nothing at all like Egypt.
Just a thought as I read your quiz.
