Sections 3 Through 6
Sections 3 through 6 are about the damned and their punishment. The damned are shown on ovals in the walls of caverns, which is why the text is called The Book of Caverns. In the caverns the gods make sure each and every soul continues to serve its punishment. The Book of Caverns is the only known Egyptian funerary text to mention women being condemned to nonexistence.
As all the souls are trapped for eternity in hell, Osiris is down there with them. However a sun disc protects him and serpents surround him. Since he is protected he is able to continue the process.

Famous quotes containing the word sections:
“That we can come here today and in the presence of thousands and tens of thousands of the survivors of the gallant army of Northern Virginia and their descendants, establish such an enduring monument by their hospitable welcome and acclaim, is conclusive proof of the uniting of the sections, and a universal confession that all that was done was well done, that the battle had to be fought, that the sections had to be tried, but that in the end, the result has inured to the common benefit of all.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
