Welcome to CESRAS, the heart of Russian Egyptology!
We hope that you will take some time to explore our                 
extensive egyptological network.  You may download any of    
our images and use them as you like for non-commercial          
purposes.  Our philosophy is to make all research material      
freely available to all people without "red tape". Should you    
publish our material, please tag it "CESRAS, Moscow" and       
let us know where we can see it. If you use it for                        
educational purposes, we would be very happy to know           
how you use it, and if there is anything more that you need,     
or would like to have for your work or personal study. We        
are here to serve science and friends thereof in any way         
that we can.

Thanks for your visit and do come again soon! There will          
always be something new...

This month we are presenting five pages of scenes from the Judgement of the
Dead, a theme common to many religions. The heart of the deceased is tested,
weighed against the feather of Maat, goddess of truth, before the throning Osiris,
lord of the netherworld.

We present both original photos and artists' reconstructions of how the scenes looked
when newly painted. Here we should mention that the colour intensity will vary,
depending on your graphic card, the calibration of your monitor and the angle of vision.
