Tangential, but those who love the language used in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, surely know about the opera Akhnaten by Philip Glass which used some of the text, both translated and in Egyptian. (Warning, opera, and especially Philip Glass' operas, are not everyone's cup of tea. You may like it or hate it. The point here is to showcase Book of the Dead text).
