Three kinds of connections are drawn out between Pyramid Texts and later ritual texts, such as temple ritual texts and the opening of the mouth: there are shared rites, common statements, and like role characteristics for the officiant and the recipient of cult. Illustrating these connections in detail, it is observed that the points of contact serve to draw the texts together despite the temporal distance between them, and to draw the setting of mortuary cult toward that of the temple. One may thus see as Schott did that there was a common stock from which rituals could be formed, and even farther that there was a ritual milieu comprehending both the temple and the tomb, with but a permeable boundary between them.
