Death and life after death in the era of the Pharaohs

He lived the ancient Egyptian for more than 40 thousand years on the banks of the River Nile, and after that was mobile in the jungles of Egypt during the stone ages, which extends to more than 700 thousand years BC, where he had lived in groups mobile living on the largesse of the rich by the Egyptian Environmental Ages witnessed this climate Mutair helped the emergence of the forest as it is now in the tropics

With the end of the stone ages, and the transformation of this climate to dry period, I started this forest and green areas is gradually becoming a desert covering most of the land of Egypt and began to determined the features of Egypt the current geographical and limited green space on the valley of the River Nile as the main source of water in Egypt and a few oases scattered in Western Sahara and runs through this valley of the Nile from south to north, carrying silt, Ersabh left and right, creates it and resulted in fertility, which called the ancient Egyptian mobile to stability and permanent residence next to the river, which has helped the establishment of ancient civilizations and, following centuries until the beginning of the stone ages, modern and pre-history, such as dynastic and historical eras. This stability has helped the ancient Egyptian to reflect on his life and his environment and his future

 One of the key preoccupied the Egyptian is the end of his life was mundane and death is the only truth in his life. Every human person and must have the end of a death which was expressed in the Egyptian language to (death) of an allocation has been a man lay on the face extending to 
  the ground

Wondered a lot about death? What after death? Is it the end of the first life? Or the beginning of another life, was found to result from the environment surrounding it. Found the answer without asking. Has allowed him to stability after the curfew, the opportunity for reflection, and found that the sun and the moon and the stars appear, then disappear and then appear in Vtakhtvy ongoing workshops, as well as the River Nile overflows every year and then stabilize, then scarce, then it overflows again, and so on. As well as crops and plants grow and then derived, and then grow again, and also helped on the discovery of agriculture where he sees the seed grows a tree and then given Bdhira cultivated trees are given, and so on

 He also compared himself with the elements of the environment around him. It is one of the most important elements of the environment. He wondered you could be the beginning of his second after death. And placed the perceptions of this life. Voiguen that there is life after death and the inevitability of life uncertain, but at the same time found that the exhausted body after death, he wondered how Yahya again without the body, was necessary to keep this body has no physical embodiment. After many failed attempts, succeeded in reaching to the process of embalming the body, which goes from the most important customs, funerary, especially during historical times and saw that the body is not only the meaning of life second, but there is also the spirit which fired them (Ba) which is the body which is called (Khet), Spirit is the power inherent in the flesh, the engine has and that deserts him after death. And here is the question how to reach the ancient Egyptian to know that every body has a spirit? He had not seen before or after to this day the spirit out of the body, which is mentioned in the Koran, "They ask thee concerning the Spirit, the less is the command of my Lord" verse

The Spirit had not seen the mystery of God upon human beings. How the Egyptian flag that there is a spirit to the body? To answer this question, we find that Egypt is the land of Egypt has had many of the prophets and messengers of God and the first was "Seth" Ben "Adam" peace be upon him and "Abraham" and his son, "Ishmael" and got married to Egypt and then "Jacob" and his children and of them, "Joseph" and "Moses" Clem is the peace of God be upon them all. In addition to these apostles and invite them to worship the one God Sunday there was another source extended to the "Adam" peace be upon him father of human beings, Vetoart generation after generation of the ancient Egyptians, beliefs about mortality and the account and the other world, and that was the passage of time, penned by the ancient Egyptian style and approach

He knew that there was the spirit of those so-called "Ba, " which leaves the body after death and ascend to heaven. Which is what prompted him to embody in the form of a bird or a bird has a green head of the deceased, and a face, but where to turn this spirit? It is contained in all religions

Studied the ancient Egyptian sky carefully and monitor their stars and draw a circle astronomical famous, but noted that the star Arctic is the middle and the Centre for the sky and Tdorholh galaxies, stars and planets, Fahadah idea that the stability of this star and not to change his place, while that of all the stars revolve around it, is a symbol of eternity and Asermdp . I think that the spirits ascend to the sky to the star and then back again to their bodies to revive a once again

 Also I think the Egyptian that he must save the name of the deceased as well as the name, which he called (Ren) is part of an entity that the deceased knew him throughout his life, he must maintain it was recorded inside and outside the cemetery and Tuabeth from home and abroad, as well as furniture Mortuary, characteristics as an example King (Tutankhamun)

 Interested in ancient Egyptian as well as the heart, which he called the "Abe" and the heart of the most important members of the human body necessary for life was keen upon the ancient Egyptian after death took him out of the breasts and embalmed, and then back again to place the chest again. And to the belief that the source of goodness and the source of evil in man and through the known human goodness or corruption and through the heart weight during the trial of the deceased in front of "Osiris" the god of the underworld by faith of Egypt , Is to know their fate Paradise Oonar, where the heart is the one who loves and He hates the which carries the hatred or love

 I believe that good deeds or bad come from the heart, but that the heart is the receptacle, which contain the work of human ill becomes heavy, as we say in these days: "The Heart of Black" or "Heart of Stone", and when the weight balance puts the heart in the balance while the other side the code gods (Maat), a goddess of justice and fairness and symbol of badminton, if this heart weighted equal to this symbol, it is considered mild, free from sin and guilt, fate of the owner of Paradise, which was launched under the name "Yarrow" fields god the underworld of Osiris, blessed and happy in it. If you found any heavy heart full of sinfulness and guilt his fate, or hell, "Sdj" any fire

And portrayed on the lake bursts surrounded wall thick black has no door and inform him of the overseas dozens of cobras, and then fence last on all four sides sign of fire or hell (Sdj), while such as in the four corners four guards in the form of four monkeys sitting on chairs to prevent escape the wicked, as they tried to escape after throwing them in hell. This is a reversal of Paradise, which they called "Yarrow," which represented the rivers run under the ground and the gardens and fountains of water and others which enjoy the righteous of all types of foods and beverages where photographed and they have tables of offerings , Such as they tilled the fields, "Yarrow," and live in peace with the gods

 The rest of the members and consisting of liver, intestine, stomach and lungs, has been removed from the body and stuffed and kept in jars special called canopic jars relative to the city of Canopus near Alexandria represented hoods general of the deceased, and then represented in the form of the heads of the children of Horus, the four (ugly Snow F - born death AFP - Hapi - Amesty), while the eyes were removed from the face, as well as the brain was extracted through the nostrils and make a hole at the top of the skull

And between death and trial before the "Auxerre" Lord of the other world there is the grave, who prepared the deceased for himself before death and Metraouh between burial grounds and small rooms, terraces, pyramids, different format, but one goal: preserving the body after death from damage. We find that the grave provided the doors and fake adorn the upper parts of the tomb, which is also called the doors of life, a representation in stone or wood to form the doors Register with pictures of the deceased owner of the grave and the names and titles, and the purpose of that facility on the soul to see her grave By Bill Clinton by her body, and then enter it into the grave, then to the well of Mosul to the burial chamber, and that his drawings of ancient Egyptian with his hand in the papyri written "dead", and what is present in the other world where the pictures of the Spirit in the form of a bird green head of the tomb owner down to the burial chamber to return to her body to live again

As well as the doors are decorated with scenes of life gifts and offerings, carriers are moving their faces into the doors of life, where he graduated in spirit to the night to receive these gifts also thought the ancient Egyptian.

But the idea of the existence of the Egyptian tomb of the deceased and how to get out of it, save where Almmia burial chamber inside the coffin? And how it will come out of it?

I think the ancient Egyptian to stay tomb was nothing but a temporary residence for a limited period not aware of a range where he was his grave, another home for him, the temporary accommodation was necessary to provide the grave all that was needed and used in his worldly, you will find in the tomb of the Kingdom, "Hetepheres" the mother of the King "Khufu" in 2620 BC. m, containing furniture of Nmusep and a bed, chair, boxes ornaments and tools for food and a stretcher, as well as the tomb of "Tutankhamun" and all its furniture, tools and utensils, etc. All that was used in the other world is kept in the tomb for reuse in this temporary accommodation. Upon return of the soul to the body will Yahya rights of the deceased and alive as an object to be used these things come out of the night to receive what gave him and then back again to Yahya Bcyprh eat and drink, but how will come out of the coffin, hermetic closure. I believe strongly that it will magically open the coffin and the grave to go to the other world t

But what after this temporary residence? Believed the ancient Egyptian that there is a day of reckoning in the kingdom, "Auxerre" Lord of the other world he will then come out to this trial, which was erected to him in front of 42 gods and headed "Auxerre", where is the weight of his heart in the balance by "Horus" and Anubis "in front of the symbol of justice" Maat "placed where the heart on the one hand, the symbol of truth and justice on one hand, a feather or code gods" Maat "If the weight symmetric, it shows the innocence of the deceased from the sins of the weight of his heart, what this means is guilty of committing sin. In this case, deliver a heart to the" Uncle "to devour animal with a heart, a crocodile and a lion and the back of the introduction Adelie, and this is what means the deceased for the loss of life, whether the sea or the river and on the ground it has no room to escape with his life. but the flesh he meets in the lake of fire "Sdj

 From here, we find that the subject of death and after death was dominant on the thought and mind of the ancient Egyptian, Vaaml thought, reflection and imagination which pictures of him his imagination all these beliefs, which scored all its effects, both papyrus in what is known as "Book of the Dead" and "what is in the other world" and "gates." As well as on the sides of the coffins and graves as well as by the habits and traditions of burial and beyond.
And finally settled on the mundane life just the beginning of eternal life eternal in the world, the other
