The Underworld in Greek mythology is a place where everyone goes when they die, the bad the good, everyone. There is no heaven or hell.
In Christian mythology it is thought the good people go to Heaven while the bad people or 'sinners' go to Hell.

Is the after life that pharaoh believed in real?
No there is only one true God and Only Heaven and Earth and no in betweens. Answer: All afterlives are as real to the believers as any other. The Pharaoh's believed they would be judged by Ptah, Christians fully expect there to be a Heaven, Vikings knew there was a Valhalla, native amrican believed in a"happy hunting ground", even the Greeks had a rather dismal afterlife of wandering around. Nobody has come back to say that they were wrong in their beliefs.

yea he was. before he was sent to hell he was actually an angel in heaven, one of the greatest and most beautiful. then i think he betrayed God and so God banished him to the underworld or Hell in christian form. (Underworld is a Greek mythology term and hell is the term used by Christians and some other religions today) and He was sent there for eternity. he now is the god of the damned souls (people cannot make it to heaven)
