The concepts of ka, ba, and akh were formulated for the first time within the Pyramid Texts. These texts are a collection of funeral formulas suitable for the protection and rebirth of Pharaoh in the Lamb. The formulas represent a ritual that allows the passing of the deceased to the world beyond, where it will have its transformation into Osiris, but also allow the sovereign to overcome the dangers during the journey. These formulas were initially the prerogative of the Pharaoh alone, but this exclusivity does not exist until the end of the Old Kingdom, as they are also used in the pyramids of the queens; in the following period they will be used in private tombs.
The spells that make up the texts were originally rituals that were played by priests readers as the son of the deceased, probably during the funeral.
