The Egyptians regarded this book as a map of the dead to lead the soul to the afterlife. Historians say that the mum of Amenhotep III was later transferred to the grave of his grandfather Amenhotep II. This mummy is held today in the National Museum of the Egyptian Civilization of Cahira, where it is displayed with other 16 mummies. However, Mami was severely damaged over time.
