The Egyptian civilization offers to the curious or to the specialist innumerable testimonies of the presence of death in the heart of the life: the tombs and their contents, the mummies, the funeral furniture, and a great abundance of texts providing information on survival in the afterlife, as imagined by the ancient Egyptians. For them, death was simply a transition between the current, ephemeral life and an eternal life. To reach this eternal life, the Ancient Egyptian was keen on taking all the necessities he needs to preserve the body for rebirth; either by a physical operation (such as the mummification of the body), or by certain funerary rites, or funerary texts (such as the Texts of the Pyramids, the Texts of the Sarcophagi, the Book of the Dead, etc ...).
The mentions of festivals are rare in these sacred texts. As it is natural for compositions to be recited during ceremonies of funerary offerings, these texts refer only to feasts concerning the diet of the deceased king. It should be noted that the party-Ouag is part of these festivities.
Among the feasts related to the worship of the dead, it is more important than the festival in question which is considered the Day of the Dead.
From the foregoing, it is concluded that the feast-Ouag is one of the oldest funeral festivals that is celebrated in honor of Osiris and is considered a day of the dead. On this occasion, offerings were represented to the deceased concerning eye, cakes, water, wine and heifers were slaughtered and barley was harvested during this celebration. Therefore, the deceased must be supplied with all his needs in order to be reborn as Osiris in the afterlife.
