EGYPTIAN AFTERLIFE

For ancient Egyptians, religion was a very important part of life and society. Their religion was polytheistic: they believed in more than one god. The Egyptians believed in life after death. They believed that they had to preserve their bodies so they could use them in the afterlife. The Egyptians believed that when they died, they would make a journey to another world where they would lead a new life.

Ancient Egyptians were buried with their belongings and the tomb walls were painted with scenes from the dead person’s life. The objects included furniture, games and even food was placed in the tombs for the long After Life journey.
