I'm trying to verify a claim for two parts from the Book of the Dead:

First:

Book of the Dead [Faulkner trans], Spell 106. Brit Mus revised Ed 1985, 2nd impression 1989.

Is this what its translates too:

"Bring me loaves from your polar waters [ie frozen water, elsewhere described as from the house of coolness]""

Second:

Book of the Dead [ Budge trans, from the Papyrus of Ani]. Dover Edit 1967, republication of original Brit Mus edition 1895; Chapt CXXV, p208–9

Is this what it translates too:

what did you do with the tablet of crystal … I made use of the tablet to create a pool of water


These translation are over a century old are they still valid?

Thanks all

What holds us back from understanding the AE language is because we don't read it in English like Cladking does

Cladking confesses that he has 'just be guessing'.

The problem is you cannot read the Ancient Egyptian language Cladking
