Like the Egyptians, the Chinese developed complex burial rites to protect their dead beyond.
Egypt and China are among the oldest civilizations that developed a writing system. By 3000 BC, the Egyptians were already writing, usually about papyrus. This Book of the Dead belonged to Ta-remetch-en-Bastet at the beginning of the Ptolomaic Period. Among the oldest Chinese writing artifacts are bamboo strips and so-called "oracle bones".
