Abstract
It is clear that the ancient Egyptian culture is one of the most Near Eastern cultures, which concern with death. And this is obvious from the remains of the society which related in one way or another to death, and the dead. They were anxious about the dangerous places, which the deceased could confront during his journey through the underworld. It seems that the ancient Egyptian was intercepted during his journey through the roads of the Underworld in some dangerous places; he may get harm, if he not knows a certain spells that show him the right way to avoid the wandering and falling in it. These places appeared in the texts of Underworld Books. The journey of the deceased from death to resurrection is envisaged as taking place in a boat crossing dangerous places and ordeals. This journey was parallel to the sungod Ra's passage to over the waters of the sky, and in which he is threatened by the powers of chaos.
