Afterlife and the understand of the afterlife in ancient Egypt is very interesting.
From the manuscripts called the Book of the Deaf one has the idea that the folklore of afterlife became more of an exploited business, having said that the notions of afterlife which arrive to us from parts of the manuscripts and from the hieroglyphics in the Egyptian temples and thumbs point to a certain sophistication in the understanding of the principal stages of the happenings to the Human Soul after the death of the Human Body.
But they started well and then they became so elaborated and confusing that in the end they served to little purpose other than to sell manuscripts (such as the book of the dead) which where intended to served as a guide map for the soul of the deceased to arrive to heaven.
Having said that after all considerations the idea and the accuracy of what happens to the Soul after death is much more accurate in and depicted in the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
