the egyptians believed that the body of a man was kept within him until the sun god called him to be put to the test. they would walk into the afterlife along with things buried within his tomb to help guide him and his heart and soul would be weighed against a feather. which is why in a tomb a mummy is buried with things from his life and sometimes with other dead servants and animals to help him to reach the sun god. if his body weighed less he was allowed into the afterlife. but if it weighed more he was condemned to a very bad place. "The Greeks believed that at the moment of death the psyche, or spirit of the dead, left the body as a little breath or puff of wind. The deceased was then prepared for burial according to the time-honored rituals." (1) the metmuseum states. The three sisters weaved your path of greatness through your life and then, after death you must fight to reach Zues in the heavens. but you were sent to Hades across the river styx if you were not wanted there. Hades is the god of the underworld. an evil god who hates all of mankind and his brother Zues. but that is a diffrent story. both egyptians and the greeks beleive in the afterlife and beleive in heaven and hell. they both wrap the remains in garments, and mourn the death of the dead.
