Title: Ancient Egypt and their dead humans

The ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. Contradictions, however, existed side by side in their belief regarding the afterworld. When an Egyptian was born, an invisible corporeal “twin,” known as “ka,” was born with him. The ka was something of a protecting genius or guardian angel, although his most useful functions were not performed during life but in the afterworld. As long as one was with his ka, he was among the living. When one lost his ka, he died. The ka did not die, but waited for the deceased in the afterworld where the two were united to live in happiness forever.
