Col49 - on the number of 49

Well, someone on the list once made an excellent list of different
meanings of the number. If I remember correctly, one of the options was
that the number of 49, in a specific version of Book of the Dead, was
the number of days it took to cross the border from one life to another.
That sounded rather interesting, that is, IF my memory is not mistaken.

By the way: Could the person who originally made that list, be so kind
as either to repost it to the group or mail it to me in person; it has
been long lost and I have spend hours trying to locate it. Would be much
appreciated :)

With kind regards

Soren.
