Mut the dangerous dead

Trouble me no longer

I inscribe thy name

I threaten thee with the second death

I kill thy name

And thus i kill thee again

In the afterlife

Bau terror of the living

Angry spirits of the condemned dead

I write thy name

I burn thy name in flames

I kill thy name

And thus thee are accursed

Even unto the underworld

Mut the troublesome dead

Plague me no longer

Thou art cursed

Thy name is crushed

Thine clay is smashed and broken

Thy vengeance against the living

Shall come to naught

[among the most sinister objects from the ancient world are the figurines in human shape which were used to cast spells on the persons they depicted. such objects survive to this day usually only when they are buried as a part of a rite and usually in the vicinity of a tomb or necropolis. archeologist have found the remains of such rites at the royal cemetaries of giza saqqarra lisht and at several forts in nubia. stone wax or mud figures or broken clay tablets or clay pots are inscribed with lists of the enemies of egypt. the body of the figure is usually flattened to make room for the text or sometimes a papyrus is inserted inside the body cavity. on the back the arms or the arms and legs are bound together. the inscriptions found on them are called "execration texts." these texts threaten death to specific people. often they include the name parentage and title of war. the execration texts were mainly aimed at enemy rulers hostile nations and tribes in nubia libya and syria-palestine. magickal incantations and rites were used to cause death and suffering and to prevent the angry spirits of the executed from taking vengeance on those who had condemned them. usually included in these texts are long-standing enemies of those involved in the cursing rites. there is also often a catchball phrase against any man woman or eunuch who might be plotting rebellion. amongst the common people the execration rituals were carried out after the killing of a personal enemy or the execution of criminals. by killing the enemy's name which was an integral part of the personality this rite would extend the punishment into the afterlife. the spirits of defeated enemies or executed traitors were regarded as a continued supernatural threat which needed to be met with magic. the wording of the texts is similar to that of contemporary spells on papyrus which promise to protect against the malice of demons and ghosts. those named in the execration texts are referred to as "mut" - the dangerous dead. it is also the word used to describe the troublesome dead in protective spells for private persons. the stone figures and red clay pots on which the execration texts were written were ritually broken as part of the cursing ceremony in order to smash the enemy's power. a pit near the egyptian fort of mirgissa in nubia contained hundreds of such pot shards as well as over 350 figures. deposite of figures have been found outside fortresses tombs and funerary temples. the clay figures were burned and then buried with iron spikes driven through them or nailed to the outer walls as the bodies of executed traitors and foreign enemies sometimes were. the more eloborate enemy figures were sometimes trussed up like animals about to be sacrificed. some are shown with their throats cut the method used to kill sacrificial animals. the dismembered body of a nubian and a flint sacrificial knife were found nar the mirgissa pit. some egyptologists believe that human sacrifices routinely accompanied execration rituals while others have argued that the figures were normally a substitute for such sacrifices.]
