it was belived that the Egyptians had much to undergo before entering the afterlife. They had to live a life that pleased the gods. They had to prepare for their death on earth. It was thought that one needed a pyramid to gain entry into the afterlife. This is why Pharaoh's had pyramids built for them when they were alive. When the Pharaoh or person died they would have to undergo the process-90 days long-of mummification. They would need their valuables and pocessions in their tomb. When they died the stars would have to line up with the pyramid to get in. Then, a god would first judge them. If they passed that the god would then take them on a boat into the afterlife to live with other Egyptian gods.

None, practice, beliefs and final destinations are all different.

The Egyptians believed people possess a ka, or life-force, which exits the body at the time of death. Since the ka was sustained by nourishment in life, Egyptians believe it must continue receiving food even after death. Unlike the ka, ba were spiritual characteristics that remained stuck with the body and had to be released through ceremony as to reunite the departed person.

Originally, only very powerful people were thought to have ba, so commoners went to a dark, bleak realm that was opposite of life when they died, while nobility joined the Gods. Later in Egyptian history all people were judged at the time of their death, and the only the good of heart had their ba and ka reunited.

Upon death the soul would enter the underworld where he would have to pass certain tests and then reach his judgment day. This would take place in the Hall of Two Truths. Anubis was a jackal headed deity considered to be the god of the dead. He would be the judge along with forty two other deities and judges that would judge each soul.

The worth of the soul would be valued with a set of scales that would be placed on his heart. All the good deeds and bad deeds performed by the individual would then be placed on these scales and then he would be judged according to their criterion, which was the Ma'at. Ma'at was considered to be the goddess of justice and was symbolized by a feather. Depending upon which scales were heavy the soul would be made to proceed to its final destination. Those souls whose scales of good had outweighed their scales of bad would be granted permission to enter the blissful afterlife. On the other hand those whose scales of bad deeds were heavy would be handed over to the Devourer of the Dead, which was the Egyptian equivalent of hell.

No, but the Ancient Egyptians believed that the souls of the dead had to pay Charon, the boatman who ferried them across the mythical River Styx to the Otherworld. This was why most of them were buried with money on their bodies.

The ancient Egyptians embalmed their dead mainly for religious reasons. Their concept of an afterlife was linked with a desire to stay in touch with the physical world. They believed that their bodies would be used throughout eternity and would be reinvigorated with life. As common as embalming was, to date no Egyptian account of how it was done has been found. The best record is that of the Greek historian Herodotus in the fifth century B.C.E. It has been reported, however, that trying to recreate the results by using the directions provided by Herodotus has not been very successful.
