The Egyptian Book of the dead by P. Le Page Renouf and Edouard Naville

1. The Egg in the unseen world is the globe of the Sun while yet below

the horizon. It is only through a mistranslation of chapter 54, 2 that the Indian notion of a ‘Mundane Egg’ has been ascribed to the Egyptians. The 17th chapter addresses “Rā in thine Egg, who risest up in thine orb, and shinest from thine Horizon.”
