Christian's reach heaven by believing in Jesus Christ and repenting of their sins.
Egypt was eventually taken over by Greece- so if anything they might switch from one type of afterlife to another. Current Egyptians are Muslim- so one could say they changed religions, but never really ceased believing in the 'afterlife'. To my knowledge there is no clear indication that belief in the afterlife ceased before the end of the New Kingdom- the last stage of Egyptian history.
In many religious beliefs, the fate of individuals in the afterlife can depend on their personal faith and actions. Some traditions suggest that a believing spouse can have a positive influence on their non-believing partner, potentially aiding in their salvation. However, the ultimate judgment is typically viewed as a personal matter between the individual and the divine. Therefore, the possibility of a non-believing spouse attaining heaven while married to a believing spouse varies widely across different faiths and interpretations.
The Egyptians used pyramids as tombs for pharaohs and important individuals, believing that they provided a pathway to the afterlife for the deceased. The pyramids were filled with treasures and goods to accompany the dead in the afterlife, and they were also designed to protect the mummies of the pharaohs and ensure their immortality.
The concept of going to hell for not believing in God is a belief held in some religions, such as Christianity. In these religions, it is believed that those who do not believe in God may face consequences in the afterlife. However, beliefs about the afterlife vary among different religions and individuals.
In "The Afterlife," Crystal dies from a tragic accident while trying to save a child from drowning. Her sudden death leaves her grappling with unresolved issues and a longing for connection. In the afterlife, she navigates her emotions and seeks closure, ultimately finding peace and understanding about her life and choices.
The Mesopotamians had a rather dim view of the afterlife, believing it to be a dreary and shadowy existence in the Underworld, known as the "Land of No Return." They thought that all souls, regardless of their deeds in life, would end up in this bleak realm, where they would lead a ghostly existence devoid of joy or light. Ancestors were honored through rituals and offerings, as it was believed that these acts could provide some comfort to the deceased in the afterlife. Overall, their focus was more on life and maintaining good relations with the gods than on the afterlife itself.
Most religions teach us that there is some sort of afterlife. According to these beliefs, we don't "really" die; we just change from one state to another. Knowing this - or believing this - can help.
