The Afterlife

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

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.

The Egyptians believe the afterlife was a place were they went when they died with their souls to live a longer, healthier and happier life away from cruelty and pain.

Egyptian belief in the afterlife affected jobs the Egyptians did because most of their jobs were focused around getting the dead ready for the afterlife. These jobs were building pyramids for the dead bodies and embalming dead bodies.

In the egyptian religion, what determined if a person made it into the afterlife?

Well, that isn't exactly how a Mormon would put it, but we do believe that there will be at least three degrees of glory, or kingdoms, in the afterlife.

The Celestial Kingdom ("highest"/closest to God), the Terrestrial Kingdom, and the Telestial Kingdom ("lowest"/closest to what this Earth is like).

We think that all of them are way, way better than where we are now.

well she took all of her important stuff with her.Like the stuff she wore (gold stuff)

Probably, but because they had no writing and their cave-paintings are enigmatic, it's difficult to know what their concept of it was. Some have suggested that it was similar to the North American Indian idea of the 'Happy Hunting Ground', others that it equated vaguely with the Aboriginal belief in 'The Dreamtime'. We'll never know for sure.

I learned in my Tibetan Buddhism class about those born into the 'hungry ghost' realm. Existing as a ghost, however, is a temporary situation in the round of rebirth (cyclic existence, reincarnation, samsara) as a result of bad karma from a past lifetime. Everything is impermanent, even the afterlife. Tibetan Buddhists believe that hungry ghosts can live for hundreds of years, during which they suffer from hunger and thirst. "Hungry ghosts are obstructed from getting food and water by internal obstructions such as horribly malformed bodies, by external obstructions such as being born into a place that has no food or water or into a place where, even if there is nourishment they are kept from it by guards, or by both internal and external obstructions." The main cause of being reborn as a hungry ghost is an action of desire such as stealing or miserliness. So basically, I guess ghosts may spend their afterlives desiring but not receiving while wallowing in their misery. -bayk

In the Christian beliefs, a person's soul will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. In pagan beliefs, the person's soul is reincarnated many times, until all of lifes lessons are learned, then the soul will travel to the summerlands.

In Judaism, the soul continues to exist and is treated in accordance with the person's actions while he or she was alive. Some cases illustrate this point, since this entire world wouldn't be enough to reward a Moses or punish a Hitler.

6 days the stars, the heavens, the earth and all that is in them was created. This cannot be taken as 24 hour earth days, this could be thousands, millions, or billions of years. This gives light to the creation and existence of the dinosaurs, which were not within the garden of Eden therefore were subject to death. Adam and Eve may have spent millions or billions of years in the garden of Eden because they were perfect and not subject to death. The garden of Eden did not encompass the entire earth because Adam and Eve were cast out into earth from the garden. It only makes scientific scense that the earth outside of the garden of Eden with its water and building blocks for life would continue to grow while Adam and Eve were in the gardn.

Hell is not mentioned in any part of the Jewish Bible. It is only in the New Testament where Hell is first mentioned, along with the concept of eternal damnation. As it has no part or history in Jewish tradition, it is not believed in.

The question is mistaken. Does Judaism believe in the existence of hell? The name and details are probably different than in other religions, but the short answer is yes. "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have rebelled against Me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched" (Isaiah 66:24). One of the central beliefs of Judaism, as codified by Rambam (Maimonides, 1135-1204), is that the soul continues to exist after death and is treated in accordance with the person's actions while he/she was alive. 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 discussed at length in the Talmud, though the exact nature of the rewards and punishments is generally not given since it would be like describing the colors of a sunrise to someone who was blind from birth. See for example the Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 17a, for a few details.
It is important to note that Judaism is a rare case in that it does not condemn non-adherents to eternal damnation. Worthy non-Jews are able to merit the rewards in the afterlife without conversion.
Another important point is the efficacy of repentance, which can change one's spiritual "balance" relatively easily. See for example Deuteronomy 30:1-10 for one of the Tanakh's many passages on this topic.

==new answer==In the book " Atlantis Remembered, the History of the World volume one" some of the early visitors to this planet preserved bodies for possible re-use later. This and much more information on that time period was gleaned from the akashic records which are stored in mind and is a record of all thought and action.

Taoism

They needed the items that they used in their first lives. They needed the items that they used in their first lives to take to the afterlife.

The Egyptians believed in judgement after death and in being rewarded for having lead a good life. Sumerians did not believe in judgement and reward and assumed that everyone suffered the same grim fate after death, regardless of how you had lived: "you live in darkness and eat clay".

Because they believed that the objects could be taken into the next life. Also, they did not want anyone to take their things when they passed so they kept it themselves for their new lives to remain who they were.

Hindus believe in reincarnation, the cycle in which a child is born, lives their life, dies, then is reborn as another living thing, whether human, animal, or plant, and lives that life until death and rebirth as another. XX!
