Anubis. I think that he was actually jackal headed.

The Ancient Egyptians had many beliefs about life after death. They believed in a soul known as the Ba, which was represted by a bird with the head of the person. They believed that if the body was destoyed then the Ba would die. They beleived in a journey after death, starting with the weighing of the heart. The dead soul would be brought to a scale. Their heart would be weighed against the feather of truth to test if their life was worthy. If their heart was heavier then the feather of truth then they would be eaten by the "gobbler", a beast part lion and part aligator. If they were thought worthy they would proced through many parts of a journey, being chased by a giant serpant named "apocus" the whole time. Many Pharoahs would have Ushabti buried with them so they may fight Apocus, intead of the Pharoah. After many trails, they would be allowed to work forever in the fields of Osirus.

also in my words which is parra11

Egyptians believed in life after death they thought that they would need food , clothing,and other items too that they would need in the afterlife . the Egypitians would remove the organs of the mummy and then fill the body with natural salt and wait 40 days so it can dry then they would bath the body in spices.

p.s the answer above is also right i read it in a book

The Babylonians believed in many gods and priests. They believed that if they disobeyed the gods they would be severally punished!! Hope this helps!!

the way they believed it by the aferlife and they saw one of there elders die and then they had a animal next to them

To help the dead go to the next place, to pass it.

In short, the Fields of Yalu are pretty much the Ancient Egyptian equivalent of Heaven.

Ancient Egyptians believed that when they died, they would arrive in the Fields of Aaru. Here, Osiris demanded work in payment for his protection. (This is why statues (called ushabti) were placed in the tombs. They were used as substitutes to do the work for the dead soul (called "ka"))

After this, the dead's heart was weighed on a scale against the "Shu" feather of truth and justice from the headdress of Ma'at. If the heart was heavier than the feather, the soul would be eaten by Ammit.

Those whose hearts were lighter than the feather passed on to the Fields of Yalu.

The After Life is a condition where those who have departed this earth life go to await the resurrection. Some of the faithful who have kept the commandments and loved the Lord their God and are familiar with His requirements, may be given the responsibility to teach others who have not had the opportunity to hear the gospel during their earth life.

They did. Both Mayans and Aztecs have versions of heaven and hell. On the website 'library.thinkquest' there is a brief but informative piece on these civilization's beliefs of afterlife.

They thought that when people died they could still live .

Quite the opposite. The Egyptians believed very strongly in an afterlife, and they wanted to make sure they prepared for it. They mummified dead bodies, because they believed the person's spirit (their "ka") would thus be preserved and able to enter the afterlife, at which time the person would be brought back to life and reside with the gods. In their tombs, Egyptians also preserved artifacts and objects they believed they would need in the afterlife, and the wealthiest Egyptians preserved items that would please or impress the gods.

the Egyptians believed that what they placed in the tombs would go to with them to the afterlife. :) <3

The same way people know anything that comes from culture and religion - because others have told them so. Just the same way religious people today know about Heaven and Hell.

They removed the organs and mummified the body.

The Egyptians were firm believers in immortality. Thus, the Egyptian rulers prepared elaborate tombs, laden with life's necessities and luxuries, hoping to secure eternal happiness in an afterlife.

Gold jewelry, clothing, furniture, wine, food, pottery, ivory boxes, and even little slabs for grinding eye paint were all carefully placed in Egyptian tombs. It was believed that these items could be used in a life beyond the grave. In earlier times, slaves were killed and buried along with their masters, to serve them after death.

i would take to the afterlife a bed a couch some food a headrest a game some water

Yes.

One of the central beliefs of Judaism, as codified by Rambam (Maimonides, 1135-1204), is that the soul continues to exist and is treated in accordance with the person's actions while he/she was alive.

Judaism was the religion of the Hebrews from Abraham onwards.

Our ancient sages emphasized the importance of being aware of this: "This world is a mere entranceway before the afterlife" (Mishna, Avot ch.4).

All outstanding accounts are settled after this life. Some cases illustrate this point, since this entire world wouldn't be enough to reward a Moses or punish a Hitler.

The afterlife is detailed at length in the Talmud. A full 20 pages of Talmud (Sanhedrin 90-110) are given to this subject. The afterlife is also referred to briefly in Torah (Bible) verses such as Genesis 15:15, which states that "You (Abraham) will come to your fathers in peace and will be buried in good (ripe; full) old age." This does not mean merely to be buried with one's forefathers, since Abraham was not buried with them. Such verses are stated many times.

The prophets are more explicit with such references (see Isaiah 26:19, Daniel 12:13).

The Tanakh does not delve into detail of the rewards of the righteous, because other religions could compete with even more poetic promises. Also because belief in the afterlife was shared by all ancient societies and needed little reiteration. See the Kli Yakar commentary to Leviticus ch. 26 for a fuller discussion.

The Egyptians believed that if they recited the right incantations and pass all of the tests from the Book of the Dead, they would make it to their paradise, Happy Field of Food. The Sumerians however, believed when they died they would descend to the grim underworld, a point of no return.

The Sumerians believed at death, they were expected to descend forever into a dark underworld, a huge cave filled with nothing but dust and silence. As the textbook says, they had a gloomy outlook on aftterlife.

Anubis who weighed the soul/heart of a person against the feather of Ma'at.

they opened the pharaohs body and took out all the organs and put perfumes, spices, etc. in the body. then they stitched the body together and started wrapping the pharaoh up in long strips of linen then they put mummy into coffin

Nefertiti took nothing to the afterlife. This is contrary to the beliefs of most Ancient Egyptians, who thought that items that adorned their burial site might be brought with them. However, to date, the mummy of Nefertiti has yet to be identified, so we don't know what items might have been intended to go with her.

Though many artefacts were buried with the dead to help them on their jouney to the afterlife, the spirits of the dead were never able to use them. No earhtly object rises with the spirits of the dead, only the knowledge which the dead have gained during their earthly stay goes with them.

they made it hard for thieves to break in with all the traps and secret rooms. They also held all the food, clothes, boats and many more beautiful and precious things for the afterlife. the Egyptians believed that after death your heart would be weighed against a feather. If it was light enough you would get to return in perfect condition. so they put all the things they would need when they came back in doors behind the tomb, usually with jackals guarding it.

They Egyptians belive that if you lived a good life that you would go on to live another good life. But if you lives a bad life you wold be eaten by an evil good named Sekhmet and perished

The Ancient Egyptians believed that when one died, they would be put in a trial. Anubis would weight the heart of the deceased on a scale against a the Feather of Truth. If the heart was lighter than the feather, then that means you lived a good life and would go on through the underworld. If the deceased' heart was heavier than the feather, then they would be judged impure and evil, and be devoured by a little monster that was part hippo, crocodile and lion named Ammit. The Underworld was Not a place that one could distinguish as "Hell". It was a place where demons and devils resided, but it wasn't the average fiery depths of torture and hatred and blood, etc. that everyone thinks of when they hear "underworld". The deceased would carry the Book of the Dead through their journey through the afterlife.
