The Book of the Living – The Mummy Prop Replica

“…one of the most famous books in history is buried out there: the Book of Amun-Ra. It contains within it all the secret incantations of the Old Kingdom.” — Evie Carnahan, The Mummy (1999)

Known as the Book of the Living or the Book of Amun Ra, this codex style book was hidden inside of the statue of Horus at Hamunaptra. Containing great power, the Book of the Living takes life away while the Book of the Dead gives life back. Modeled to look like the Book of the Living of King Ramusan and Imhotep from The Mummy, this book might very well be your undoing — to drain life, or unleash unspeakable horrors across the land.

Featuring a cover of wood, metal, and cast-resin pieces, the clasps hinge closed and are held in place with magnets to contain the unfathomable power within. Bound in supple black genuine leather, the Book of the Living is sure to be a substantial prize for any Egyptologist or collector.

Available in a variety of options, we can customize the book to fit your specific need. Each finished book weighs approximately 2.8 lbs, giving great substance and heft to your book of unspeakable power, and measures approximately 8.5 x 11″. The Book of the Living can be made as a:

• Blank paged sketchbook to scribble your own notes and drawings in
• Hollow compartment to keep things inside
• An actual bound copy of the text of the Book of the Dead. (ISBN 978-9176374641)

So, brave O’Connell type, you won’t need to track down and enter the tomb of Imhotep to find these books (though you might find the map to Hamunaptra we’ve got quite handy)… our librarians are standing by to craft your ancient Egyptian relic. Also available for those looking to round out their sets,

• The Book of the Dead

And don’t forget your key!

(Please allow up to 3-5 weeks for our archaeologists to craft and send your book on its way. Our books are delicate artifacts, and take time and care to create.)
