The lecture will shed light on the first publication of the Pyramid Texts by French Egyptologist Gaston Maspero in the late 19th century, as successive studies and research still uncover what these texts and spells contained. Dr. Ibrahim Abdel Sattar notes that the Pyramid Texts were carved on the pyramids of the kings and queens of the Old Kingdom, and appeared on several tombs, sarcophagi, and panels of the Middle Kingdom, in addition to the tombs and temples of the New Kingdom, the Late Period of Ancient Egypt and the Roman Era. They were also written on Canopic jars and papyrus.
