Moving in a parallel direction to our last topic, we are going over the afterlife beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians this week, touching on mummification, the pyramid texts, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the elusive Field of Reeds. We compare the classes afterlife of the Mesopotamians to the highly stratified beliefs of the Egyptians, while also noting that, for the first time in our series on the ancient world, there is an idea of an eternal paradise at the end in this vision.
We start the episode with another one of Michael's mind-bending afterlife hypotheticals. This one he has not posed to hundreds of people...yet.
