    Group 3: 10 Commandments and The Book of The Dead

    Uploaded by

    Diane Soriano
    The document discusses recent claims that the Ten Commandments were derived from Egyptian texts, which is part of a tendency to discredit ancient Hebrew culture. However, while the Ten Commandments and the Egyptian Book of the Dead share some similarities around beliefs in the afterlife and composition relating to death, they differ in that the Commandments are monotheistic instructions from God to Israelites on how to live, whereas the Book of the Dead is polytheistic and focuses on death and the afterlife for Egyptians.

    DISCLAIMER: There is a recent craze in pop culture claiming that the so-called Ten Commandments

    were cribbed from Egyptian texts or elsewhere. Which is itself part of a much larger tendency toward
    discrediting Ancient Hebrew culture generally. Many people falsely believe that the Hebrews were just a
    bunch of goat herders until the Babylonian Exile when they were finally taught how to read and write.
