The Book of the Dead and Elysian Fields

That's French for "the ancient system," as in the ancient system of feudal privileges and the exercise of autocratic power over the peasants. The ancien regime never goes away, like vampires and dinosaur bones they are always hidden in the earth, exercising a mysterious influence. It is not paranoia to believe that the elites scheme against the common man. Inform yourself about their schemes here.

17 - (Thebes) The Mortuary Chapels of the Nobles-Tomb and Mortuary Chapel of the Noble Sennefer. -- Sennefer and his sister Meryt, standing before a quantity of offerings presented by a priest clad in a leopard-skin. Then they are both seen purified with holy water by a priest connected with the mortuary temple of Thothmes IIIrd. Strange to note that, on one of the amulets around the neck of the figure of Sennefer, the name of "Alexander" is written in hieroglyphs; this would lead one to suppose that the tomb was open in the Greek period, and was visited by a person of that name.
