The souls conundrum Part 2

Nika's statement was met with Uriel's skepticism, not only because she wasn't interested in archaeology, but because the book of the dead was an enigmatic artifact that had puzzled Uriel ever since he acquired it.

Abilities aside, its content was obscure and although he could understand the ancient glyphs that gave birth to all modern languages, the contents of the book were a mystery. The same applied for its origin and history despite Uriel dedicating a long time to research about it in the library. The closest thing he had found were the dead sea scrolls, though he deduced they were inspired on the cursed book that now rested in his museum.
