to do list to make it to the egyptian afterlife

The Egyptian gods must be really picky people because if want to have any chance of making it to the afterlife you have to do a wide variety of things. One thing that your forced to do if you want to get to have life after death is show devotion to the gods by worshiping at their temples and giving offerings. Also they had to have a special burial. Every egyptian who wanted in the afterlife had to be mummified and all of their organs had to be dried out and fit into canopic jars I dont know about you but i'm not to fond of the idea of someone taking out all of my organs and pouring salt on them to dry them. They had to go through that process because the egyptians believed that once all of your organs rotted your afterlife was over. Egyptians also had to pass the weighing of the heart ceremony to move on to the next part of the afterlife. Finally each Egyptian had to be buried with a book of the dead which is a group of spells that is used to give you safe passage through the bad parts of the underworld
