No. The Book of the Dead is the Word of God and man is not allowed to criticize it. :)

Of course! I don't view it any more differently then the Bible or anyother book. Again, it was written by man - not Gods and Goddesses.

"God" has allowed us to criticize anything and everything. Hence, the ability to reason and the freedom to choose. Besides, the Book of the Dead is Ancient Egyptian text. More than one "God" there.

Once again, PLEASE Answerbaggers: get a handle on what CRITICISM of a text is. The way we commonly use "criticise" ie to find fault, is not the same as Textual Criticism. Textual criticism is a scholarly assessment of the worth of a text. Here is a definition: Textual criticism or lower criticism is a branch of philology or bibliography that is concerned with the identification and removal of errors from texts and manuscripts. The textual critic seeks to determine the original text of a document or a collection of documents, which the critic believes to come as close as possible to a lost original (called the archetype), or some other version of a text as it existed — or was intended to exist — in the past.[1] There are three fundamental approaches to textual criticism: eclecticism, stemmatics, and copy-text editing. Techniques from the biological discipline of cladistics are currently also being used to determine the relationships between manuscripts. This term is used in contrast with higher criticism, which is the endeavor to establish the authorship, date and place of composition of the text. ============ You might be familiar with the word CRITIQUE from college or university. When you critique something, you analyse it. Same word, except CRITIQUE is French. CRITICISM is Latin.

All I want to know is how did Padhasambava die and come back to write the testimonies in the "Tibetan Book of the Dead"? it doesn't make sense...you suppose one dies and that's it!
