The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the scribe Hunefer and his papyrus, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a plain, well corroborated account of who Hunefer was, the papyrus's British Museum object number and the weighing of the heart scene's named figures. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited here for corroborated identification detail rather than for closer art historical reading, which the DailyArt Magazine essay supplies instead.
