Did Egyptians believe in ghosts

Answer 1

Yes, ancient Egyptians believed in the existence of ghosts, which they referred to as "ka" or the spirit of a deceased person. They thought that the ka could return to the living world, and thus, proper burial practices and rituals were essential to ensure the deceased's safe passage to the afterlife. This belief also influenced their elaborate funerary customs, including the construction of tombs and the provision of offerings to appease and honor the spirits of the dead.
