Abstract

Herodotus noted that the Egyptians were more religious than any other people. The ancient Egyptian religion was inbuilt in every aspect of the Egyptian culture. The Egyptians had two beliefs, which influenced their positive attitude towards life against death. The first belief was that death was just temporary interval of life. The second was the belief in eternity and resurrection after a long journey through the underworld, which could be guaranteed in different ways as; piety to the gods and goddesses, preserving the body through the mummification and being supplied by necessities needed for the journey (food, furniture, jewellery, cosmetics...etc), funerary objects, magic. In the ancient Egyptian texts, life on earth was a short period but death was the passage to the afterlife. The tomb was the resting house of eternity, and everyone must experience this transformation.
