Among other things, the Egyptian book(s) of the dead gives a detailed listing of what answers should be given and the precise wording that those answers should given in. Originally these were individualized for each person, but in later years there were generic, mass produced versions made that only had to have the individuals name inserted in the appropriate places.

In the Book of the Dead is listed questions about all the good things you did, it was never asked what bad things you did.
It was a confession of the good you did while on earth. Hard to understand for us, but these confessions would have to weigh heavier than the rest, to show how good you were while on earth.
I think this is a very nice way to go for the Dead, don't you ?
