Reply To: The Gods of Ancient Egypt

I agree that the importance that the Egyptians gave to the afterlife really distinguishes them as a cultured. I’ve heard a few different theories on why that was… I think an interesting (and kind of sad) theory is that this life just wasn’t that great for the people of ancient Egypt, so they looked to the next one. Either way, ancient Egyptian royalty certainly got mortuary treatment that no one else has received since!
