James Allen (and others) just assert this, but Brandon in the 1950's was not sure, and it does not seem so clear to me either. The Instruction of Merykare seems rather clear that there is a judgment, but by whom? The Pyramid texts seem to suggest that the king can say "I will not sit at the court" and this suffices to exempt him. Besides a late Nubian image, I can find no images or direct references to any king (but a number of famous ones of commoners) going through any trial, e.g., that of the weighing of the heart. Budge reproduces the late Nubian one presumably because he could not find an early Egyptian one. Any help would be most appreciated. The basic question is what a KING had to fear in connection with death.
