Have you ever wondered what happened to the sun-god Ra when he set in the West each day? Come on a journey with him on his barque through each of the 12 hours of the Duat (the Afterlife). Each section had a different theme (each portal even had its own name) and tasks that had to be performed. Meet the gods, goddesses and fabulous strange creatures that inhabited the afterlife that was so richly described in the text known as the Composition of the Hidden Chambers (aka the Book of Am Duat).
