NEMUER's animated music video for the track "Sun God Ra's Solar Barque" from their ancient Egyptian album Going Forth by Day is a preview of an art music film currently in development. Both the film and the album are based on the Book of the Dead and are the result of NEMUER's collaboration with artist Klara Sedlo and Egyptologists.Get the full album:
Like the rest of the album, the lyrics are in ancient Egyptian with reconstructed pronunciation, thanks to the collaboration of Egyptologist and Linguist Dr. Christian de Vartavan. Make sure to turn on captions for the translation of the Book of the Dead texts. The video is a continuation of Gates of Duat, the first published part of the film, released last year.

As the sun sets, sun god Ra enters the underworld on his barque, accompanied by gods and the souls of the blessed dead.
Every night, his journey is challenged by Apophis, the serpent of darkness and chaos.
When Ra triumphs, the reborn sun rises again.
When he fails, the world falls into darkness.
