Death was viewed as a passageway to the afterlife. That is why the Egyptions embalmed the body. They wanted the body to stay preserved for as long as eternity so the ka, or spirit, had a place to stay in the afterlife. However, they did not always make it through the underworld leading to the afterlife because it was a terrible journey. At the end of their journey the egyptions would meet the god Osiris and have their hearts weighed against a feather. If the heart was heavy with evilness it would be eaten by a terrible monster. If it was light the person would live for all of eternity in the field of reeds in the afterlife. People spent their whole lives keeping their hearts light so the could live happy for all of eternity. The pharoahs were believed to be living gods and would live with the other gods after death.
