'Pyramid Texts' for King Pepy I, from his pyramid at Saqqara.
Painted limestone fragment from the north wall of the antechamber
Sixth Dynasty, about 2250 BC
The burial and the inscribed walls of chambers within the pyramid of Pepy I were destroyed in antiquity, and were recently restored by the French Institute in Cairo. This fragment is one of the larger pieces outside Egypt, the adjacent parts of the walls have not survived.
The hieroglyphs face left, in their original position on the wall this would be towards the chamber where the body of King Pepy I lay. The five columnns contain words recited to ensure the ascension of the spirit of the King, and to provide food to sustain him.
The inner chamnbers of teh late Old Kingdom pyramids were inscribed in hieroglyphs with religious compositions relating to the funeral of the King, and designed to secure for him eternal life and power. These are the earliest extensive religious compositions from Egypt, first found in the pyramid of Unas, last King of the Fifth Dynasty [about 2350BC], and have been named 'Pyramid Texts' by Egyptologists.
