Ritual burial of the dead when the ancient Egyptian

The ancient Egyptians go to body dead (after being embalmed) in the procession until it reaches the eastern shore of the Nile, where awaits a small fleet of boats and the boat was the main by a large room lined interior fabrics in this room was placed the body of the deceased and his statues: Isis and Nephthys Alilehtan Alhamytan for the dead and the priest burned incense and continue slapping on Alnaúhat Erashen.
After crossing the Nile to the western shore of the Nile continues the procession to reach the tomb of the dead, and after doing some rituals does not remain only lowered the coffin and funeral furniture and arranged, Vioda coffin made in the form of the mummy in a coffin last stone in the form of basin rectangle is placed around a number of things such as sticks, weapons, amulets , and then close the heavy sarcophagus lid is placed next to the coffin and canopic utensils (pots are placed in the bowels of the deceased and take the forms of the four sons of Horus, so Valawana four canopic) into a special fund.
Was placed the food of the deceased, called "Alawzerbat germinating," a frame of wood in the form of Oxues mummified and inside the duffel bag fill with a mixture of barley, sand and watered for several days Fanept barley and grow thick and strong and when it reaches a length of 12-15 cm was dried and then damage sticks, including pieces of cloth and the goal of this work is to urge the deceased to return because of Osiris had been revived from the dead this way.

Exit of the Spirit:In the old state was the rise of the spirit of the deceased king to the sky through a great loft ladder or holding the tail of the cow or the heavenly bird flying or carried on the smoke of burning incense from the priest or a sandstorm. The belief that settled after that. And that was after all human beings to become the people the right to worship any god is guaranteed is the soul went out in the form of a bird with a human being.



Trial of the Dead:Hall was the trial of the dead in the other world called the Hall of the investigation, and there are Osiris sitting on the throne and was succeeded by his two sisters Isis and Nfits and 14 deputies, in the middle of the hall is a great balance and a monster next to him to protect him, as there is in the room also Thoth and Anubis.And start proceedings against the deceased when the Anubis enter the Dead (wearing a dress of linen), who greets Osiris and other gods, then defend the Dead himself 36 times because he feared not believe it and repeat approval proving the innocence of his way to the 42 god (Egypt was divided to 42 regions and each god represents the territories of regions of Egypt) and then mention how good the Dead gives bread to the hungry, provide water to the thirsty and the naked clothed.And then placed his heart in the balance the other side and a small statue of the truth (Mat) did not detail how the heart is weighed and the Dead Are a known sins to God, heart or make it light? And if he proves that this man was innocent, has the right to life and happiness in the other world was wrong or if it destroys by macrophages (a mixture of mythical monster crocodile, a lion, seahorse).The main concern of the ancient Egyptian Houma will happen to him in the trial because he knew that not all people will enjoy bliss in the Hereafter, so deliberately priests to do some magical texts and amulets to protect the deceased and his acquittal in the trial, and these formulas magic formulaGod makes the sun (which is the real powers behind the trial) fall from the skies in the Nile if the deceased did not come out so innocent scene of the trial.As to chapter 125 in the Book of the Dead (we will talk about shortly) to redeem sinners from their sins, and this chapter copied on papyrus to be placed inside the coffin between the legs of the mummy to be healed Square Dead, and the priests were circumvented in this way to the people where Oanmohm the help of texts magic can be discharged The yard was dead wrong.Among the examples and also questions the judges in the Court's account:
Did you live for you God set you completely?
Do your body right Rait Raak you as God in your youth?
Have you kept your body clean Carda not clean contaminated dirt?

Book of the Dead:Was the most important books I have of the ancient Egyptian, a book contains a collection of religious texts and magic known to the Egyptians as the "chapters to walk during the day" and the Book of the Dead, in fact a descendant of the texts of the pyramids and coffins, which was intended to provide the life Hereafter comfortable for the dead and give it powers necessary to leave the tomb when necessary. Most of what is found in the graves of the dead parts of the Book of the Dead, which was believed that he needed to rest there is no copy but found many texts contain the entire Book of the Dead, the following are some lines of this book and translated in the order of the line.
