The earliest funerary texts inscribed on a pharaoh's pyramid are found at Saqqara. These sacred texts, known
as the Pyramid Texts, were written on the inner passages and the walls of the burial chamber. They were
intended to help the pharaohs travel through the afterworld, to secure the regeneration and eternal life of the
king. The Pyramid Texts are considered the oldest body of religious writings in the world.
