The Afterlife In Ancient Egypt

The picture shows that there is a judgment after death. Like other religions, it also shows that he who judges sees and supervises all. When I first saw this picture i honestly thought that the Egyptians were just exceptionally morbid. Although the concept of the afterlife makes me think the Egyptians believed that they had an intimate relationship with the gods. Their gods gave them a chance to have a good or bad afterlife. The pyramids were to be honored upon, they had significance in the religion. They came to believe that the objects in the pyramid be with them in the afterlife. The pyramids were especially for the Pharoh for his second life. From the picture on page 60 inferred that the social structure of Egypt was man based. But
after that it was based on the privileged. In the picture the two underprivileged were pulling building blocks, while the privilegedman was making sure they were doing their work.
