Book of the Earth
The Book of the Earth'' is an Ancient Egyptian funerary text that has been called many names such as “The Creation of the Sun Disk” and the “Book of Aker.” The Book primarily appears on the tombs of Merneptah, Twosret, Ramesses III, Ramesses VI, and Ramesses VII and serves as a counterpart to the Book of Caverns.〔(Book of the Earth ) by Jimmy Dunn writing as Taylor Ray Ellison〕
The central figures in the story are Osiris, Ra and Ba, while the overarching plot is the journey the sun takes through the earth god, Aker.
==Original sources==
The scenes were found on all of the walls of the tombs of Ramesses VI and Ramesses VII. There were a few additional scenes found on the walls of other royal tombs extending from the New Kingdom to the Late Period, but since many scene from the Book were scattered around, the ordering of the illustrations is slightly convoluted.〔
Jean-François Champollion was the first one to publish the scenes and texts from the tomb of Ramesses VI in his ''Monuments de l'Egypte'' where he deciphered the hieroglyphs depicted in the tombs. Alexandre Piankoff was the first one to really study the composition of the images and hieroglyphics and looked for a meaning behind the illustrations. Bruno H. Stricker provided an explanation of the Book as a divine embryology in 1963.
