Well to begin, ancient Egyptians took a hopeful view on life after death. They thought it to be better then their life on earth. When they died they would board Ra's (the sun god) boat and sail to a place called The Land of Two Fields. At first, only pharaohs could go and enjoy their afterlife, but then the god Osiris made it possible for all Egyptians to enjoy life after death. The Land of Two Fields was said to look just like Egypt, completed with the beautiful Nile river, and everyone would live in peace. Also, the Egyptians believed that their soul had two parts to it, Ba and Ka. One part of the soul would come to earth and watch over your family, while the other half enjoyed the afterlife, and at the end of the day, both soul pieces return themselves to the dead Egyptians tomb and rest.
