The ancient Egyptians

Afterlife was very important

for Egyptians.

A lot of their lifetime activities

were linked to afterlife!

AFTERLIFE

They believed in the land of two fields.

Osiris let the soul into the after world.

But the heart of the dead had to be

light enough to go on Ra’s board.

For a soul’s heart to be light, they had

to do good deeds in their life.

To ovoid trickery Ma ’at weighed the

heart.

They believed that the soul split into two. One half would enjoy afterlife and the other half would go and watch over their family.
