DjoserPtolemaic Period (Greek Period)
Djoser was a priest of the cat-goddess Bastet at Memphis, during the
reign of the Ptolemaic kings. He was buried with a papyrus of the 'Book of
the Dead' (The Book of He Who is in the Underworld) which contains
a version of the 'negative confession' in which the deceased denies that
he has committed any wrongdoing during his lifetime, whilst undergoing the
process of judgment before the goddess Ma'at and the gods Horus, Thoth and
Anubis.
