Jews don't bury their dead with servants, boats or other artifacts to take with them to the next world. We Jews believe that the only thing you can take with you are the good deeds (mitzvot; Divine commands) which you fulfilled in this world.

How can you compare hypertonicity to death and afterlife?

You can't compare them. Hypertonicity is a term used in biology, therefore it is part of reality. Death is the only certain thing in life and the afterlife is a term, thought up by people who are afraid of death, which has no basis in reality.


How did the Hebrew afterlife compare to the Mesopotamian afterlife?

First, it should be noted that the ancient Israelite religion is different from later forms of Judaism. The Hebrews were forbidden to talk to the dead, as nomads, burial meant moving on. The Mesopotamians believed that there was an underworld and one's status in the underworld directly stemmed from how well the burial rites were performed. Those less fortunate were doomed to eat dust for all eternity, while others could sit and listen to music.
