Egyptian perceptions of death in antiquity
Définition
- The Giza Pyramids, the only remaining example of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are massive tombs that demonstrate the emphasis placed on death and the afterlife by the ancient Egyptians. Life in ancient Egypt was, as noted by Thomas Hobbes, “brutish and short.” The ancient Egyptian beliefs regarding death are complex.
