Abstract

The article is a reflection on time and space categories in a narrow framework: Duat and night, in which Ra arrived from the first hours of darkness and to the first signs of dawn. Our study focuses on the so-called New Kingdom Books of the Netherworld (Book of Amduat, Book of Gates, Book of Caverns, and Book of the Earth), funerary compositions that decorate mainly the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt.
