What religious beliefs did Egyptians hold?

2. Joe’s hieroglyphics
Hieroglyphs are drawings on walls that were made by Egyptians.
Hieroglyphics could be idea, place, animal, name or anything.
A wavy line could be anything like water or a snake.
Hieroglyphs were a way of talking to other egyptians or a type of letter.
Without hieroglyphics they could not do anything together.
A circle often meant re the sun god.

4. Life After Death: The Egyptian Underworld
By: Timotheos
Life After Death: The Egyptian Underworld
A popular belief of what would happen in the underworld was the “Negative Confessions,” here the “45 Judges” would each ask you one question to decide if you were good. Such as, “Have you made anyone sad on purpose.” If they found your answers acceptable they let you on in your adventure.
The most popular belief was the “Weighing Of The Heart,” if your heart was lighter than a feather then you were good and light hearted [literally.] If not, then you were evil and unworthy of the afterlife and would be devoured by Ammut “The Female Devourer Of The Dead.”
After passing through either one of these trails, you will be met by Hraf- hef. This god was perpetually unpleasant, and no matter what crude remarks he’d tell you. You’d have to say something kind to him to pass this trail. The you’d pass the trail of “Lily Lake.”
Now you’re in the “Field Of Reeds” the Egyptian form of Heaven. Here you’ll find your loved ones, dead relatives, your house, pets that passed away etc. In the “Field Of Reeds” you will find all the things you loved in your life. A perfect place, only you’ll love as much as you see it.
Egyptians weren’t scared of an underworld, they were scared of being non-existent to them this was terrorizing itself. That’s why these trails were so important to them.
