The Book of the Dead of Neferrenpet can be seen on the wall of the mummy room. The Book of the Dead, or as the Egyptians called it, the "Book of Going Forth by Day in the Necropolis," was a group of religious spells that helped the deceased make his way into the afterlife.

Neferrenpet was a sculptor who lived in the town of Deir el Medina, near modern Luxor, around 1260 BC. To ensure his success in his final journey, he had a Book of the Dead prepared, to be put into his tomb when he died. This book contains spells prepared by an artist/scribe, who personalized them by adding the name of the owner.

No single papyrus contained all the known spells from the Book of the Dead, which number close to 200. The example here –which is just a section of the original length of the papyrus– contains four different spells. One is a spell for requesting a water jar and palette in the cemetery. The associate vignette, or scene, shows the deceased seated opposite a table with scribal equipment; The next two spells are for the deceased to “attain a blessed state in the cemetery” and are accompanied by an image of the deceased before the ibis-headed god Thoth. The final spell on this papyrus identifies the deceased with the sun god Re.
