Enkidu's description of his dream provides vivid imagery, allowing us to visualize the Sumerian afterlife as a dark realm where people wear feathers like birds, eat dust, and exist in eternal night. This description helps to paint a bleak and eerie picture of the afterlife according to Sumerian beliefs.
Your question is not put in a fully understandable way. There are therfore two possible answers to your question. One is it took from the time they were able to understand till the time they died. The other possible answer is that it takes but a very short time from the time the spirit leaves the body till it reaches the spirit world. It is certain that you will be escorted by someone you know and has died. They or even these persons will escort you to your proper place in the spirit world.
The three main Gods of Ancient Egypt were Osiris, Isis and Horus.
It was the ancient egyptain belief that when you die you enter the afterlife. The afterlife was their version of heaven, their idea of life after death. They believed that though their life would end as they knew it, they would have very similar experiences in the afterlife. These experiences would be perfection of the projected thing in this life.
William Shakespeare did not write novels. Hamlet is not a novel. It's a play. They are very very different. Novels are to be read. Plays are to be watched.
Hamlet is considered one of the greatest works of literature because it touches on a great many themes. A few of the major ones are "What is the point of life?", "Is revenge justified?", "What is sanity?", "How should we deal with death?", "How should children deal with parents who go wrong?" etc. etc.
I recommend you immediately watch a movie of the play or, better yet, buy a ticket to see it played live at a theatre.

People did think that their second life was good,the Egyptians give us what they thought by putting the favorite things in the pyramids.
the ancient Egyptians brought food to the afterlife because they believed that there was a second life after you died and they wouldn't want you to go to the afterlife hungry and nothing to eat.

They did this so the Pharaoh could protect him self from the dangers in the afterlife.
The question could be read in two different ways:
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egyptians believed that the soul would go to Anubis who would weigh the soul against the Feather of Truth. If the soul was truthful, it would proceed to the afterlife and paradise. If the soul was wicked, it would go to the Realm of Seth.
Modern Egypt
Today, most Egyptians are Muslims and believe in the Muslim afterlife. A minority of Egyptians are Christian and believe in the Christian afterlife. To read about these afterlives, please read the Related Question below.

There is absolutely no proof of an existence after death. However there are many fairytales about a brilliant/sparkling kingdom which is only accessible to elite members of a supremacist group. In this fairytale the rewards are reserved for the chosen (nice ones) and the condemned (naughty ones) are hurled into a blazing volcanic pit of lava.
There are numerous religious beliefs that are certified as authentic by the relevant leaders who submit theological machinations as validation. Most religious theologies profess that there is an existence after death and that all of God's creation are afforded an equal space based upon their positive activities in life.
It is believed that the soul continues to exist after death because it existed before life but since it consists of pure conscious energy it cannot experience physical sensations without a body. It should be obvious that a soul therefore cannot experience mythological concoctions like heaven and hell.
The only 'proof' that could be obtained would be if someone died and came back to tell us all about it.
Christians believe that Jesus Christ, having been crucified, dead and buried, did come alive again in a glorified body to prove to us that death is not the end but a glorious beginning. Whilst some will not accept this, there is a huge wealth of hard evidence that this actually did happen. No one in the last 2000 years has made a convincing argument that this event could not have happened, but many who have tried have ended up believing the opposite after having looked at the facts, and become converted as a result. It was an event that turned the world upside down so much that the Christian church spread across the then-known world rapidly and relentlessly, despite oppressive persecution, and is still growing today. So convinced were the 600 or so followers who actually saw Christ alive after the crucifixion, that many went to their deaths for what they believed.
So, yes, there is a life after this one. If one wants proof or evidence, there is far, far more evidence of life after death than not.
They believed that when the body is existed the person will continue to live in on in the afterlife.
IndeedThat is why the pyramids were built, to house all of the pharoah stuff they belive will help you in the afterlife. Only the rich people and kings could aford it
