“Pyramids, temples, tombs, the burials of kings, nobles and the common people, all express the unique Ancient Egyptian idea of death. Ancient Egyptians marked their passage into the hereafter perhaps more so than any other ancient society. For them, death was not simply the end, but was just one of the transformations in life's natural cycle. Egyptians often likened death to rebirth and found comfort in the notion that it was a necessary preliminary to the afterlife. ”The quote seen here tell the ideas that the egyptain people had of the afterlife.They beilive that there is a ”afterlife” and that everyone goes there where kings never die with all “ba” ka” and “akh” with ka being the somewhat soul of people the ba being their self and the akh being the fully resurrected and glorified form of the deceased in the Afterlife.Unlike many other religions the egyptain people believed that there were many gods and each one controlled something different also that the afterlife was like the life before kings when still kings in the next life and they could carry on the item they wanted it with them when dead. “Traditional Judaism firmly believes that [|death] is not the end of human existence. However, because Judaism is primarily focused on life here and now rather than on the afterlife, Judaism does not have much dogma about the afterlife, and leaves a great deal of room for personal opinion. It is possible for an [|Orthodox] Jew to believe that the souls of the righteous dead go to a place similar to the Christian heaven, or that they are reincarnated through many lifetimes, or that they simply wait until the coming of the [|messiah], when they will be resurrected. Likewise, Orthodox Jews can believe that the souls of the wicked are tormented by demons of their own creation, or that wicked souls are simply destroyed at death, ceasing to exist.”The quote seen here show that the Jews don’t really think about life after death much but an Orthodox Jew to believe that they go a place like heaven or if evil are tormented by demons of their own creation.Also there is the Christains they think that if they follow the words of the text called the bible and be a good person,they stall go to heaven and the souls of the damned go off to hell where there souls go and burn forever.There is no middle point as far as i know.Also the form of garnds called angel are the name of the soul whom make it to heaven.This is different from different religions is the part in which there is no mid point of the afterlife.(But ghost have been call the mid point where the soul is brond to the earth but in the form of a soul.)"Beilieve in me child..."That is a quote from the bible it mean People should beilieve in god and this was said well he step on water (the deep end).In conlcuision the realigions shown are both the same and different
