Book of Golden Sands Slot - Pragmatic Play Demo
Book of Golden Sands is a slot game developed by Pragmatic Play based on the theme of ancient Egyptian mythology.
Ancient Egyptians believed mummification was essential for eternal life, preserving the body as a vessel for the soul's return.
The process, overseen by priests and the god Anubis, took 70 days and involved complex religious rituals.
According to Egyptian mythology, each person had five elements of soul: the Ka (life force), Ba (personality), Akh (immortalized being), Ren (name), and Sheut (shadow).
The preserved body allowed these elements to reunite in the afterlife.
The embalmers followed strict religious protocols, removing organs and storing them in canopic jars protected by the Four Sons of Horus.
The brain was removed through the nose, while the heart, believed to hold the person's essence, remained in place.
Magical amulets and spells from the Book of the Dead were placed within the wrappings to protect the deceased.
The most important was the scarab beetle over the heart, preventing it from testifying against its owner during judgment.
Tomb curses were said to protect mummies from grave robbers. The most famous is the "Curse of the Pharaohs," allegedly responsible for mysterious deaths following the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb.
Modern tales of mummies coming back to life stem from these ancient beliefs about resurrection and the power of Egyptian magic, though such stories were not part of original Egyptian mythology.
