Talk:Book of Caverns

Section 3 through 6
Edited Sec. 3-6, 1st par. to remove this closing sentence: "Women were always thought to have been pure, and could never have the option of being damned to hell." Surely, such a claim about the Egyptian concept of hell cannot be made without support. The preceding sentences contradict it as well, since women are depicted in this book. I also qualified the previous statements with the word 'known'. DFN (talk) 02:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC)DFN

Clean up
I have done some pretty heavy editing to this article because it suffered from frequently slipping into irrelevancy. There were lengthy descriptions of the architecture of the Osireion and the contents of the Book of Gates. At the end of the paragraph about "Sections 3 through 6" descriptions of Anubis and Horus suddenly seemed to come out of nowhere. It wasn't clear if the attributes ascribed to those gods were mentioned in the Book of Caverns or if those gods were mentioned in the text at all. There was an entire section devoted to the Ramesside Period that did not once mention the Book of Caverns or how political or religious changes of the time shaped the text.

If any of the information is relevant it should be clearly explained how it relates to the Book of Caverns when it is restored.

Finally, the Wikipedia article about the Osireion was cited as a reference. Wikipedia articles should not use other Wikipedia articles as references. We are not a good enough reference for ourselves. --Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 06:16, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
