In order to understand the significance of embalming and its cause, it requires first of all the knowledge of the Pharaonic religion and the doctrine of death among the ancient Egyptians, a doctrine that is somewhat complex compared to our religious beliefs in the present age. The Pharaonic spirit was not a single entity, It consists of several parts: the name Ren, the Sheut, the Spirit, the Spirit, the Spirit,

With the exception of the spirit of light, all other parts are born with man. The shadow is accompanied by life. There is no living being without a shadow. He accompanies him after death as part of his soul and being. The same is true of the name. It is given to man at birth and remains a companion in life and death. It is an important part of his being. It is impossible for the dead to pass the court of gods without him.


The (B) return to the body
The Baa is like the soul, and each person has a special personality that distinguishes him from others. He is born with him and remains after his death. The ancient Egyptians depicted him as a bird with a human head, flying between the material world and the otherworldly world, ), Flying with the sunrise to unite with the soul (Ka) and then return to the grave and the underworld at sunset. The Egyptians believed that the Ba would not be able to return to the grave unless she knew the body of the owner, so be careful that the mummy was similar to the dead body when he was alive.


The symbol of the Ka in ancient Egyptians
(Ka) is the quran, and can be likened to a copy that is exactly identical to the human (Copy). Every human being is created by the gods to make his wife accompany him as a shadow in his life and to succeed him at his death. But even after death, His wife, Ka, will not be able to survive. He needs food, water and care so that he can continue. That is why the Egyptians were putting food and water in the grave with the dead. They believed that if the ka were neglected by the dead people, The tomb may be left to become evil spirits chasing the living.

The Eternal is the energy of the Light, meaning the "influential" or the "effective", resulting from the union of the soul (Ba) with the soul (k) to acquire immortality with the gods in heaven, which is the goal of every old Egyptian, but to reach it he needs to make a journey Where the court of the great gods, there will represent his spirit before Osiris and the judges of the court of judges, will pay the deceased innocence of sins and sins, and to make sure that his heart will be placed in the balance against the feather of truth Maat, survivors of this The test will raise spirits to heaven to gain immortality with the gods, but the weight of their scales because Their gaze is on the terrifying beast of Amityat, who is lurking in the hearts of the sinners, to be consumed by them.


The Spirit of the Spirit
And now I think that the meaning of embalming has become clear: the ancient Egyptian was an avid immortal who hated the idea of ​​annihilation, so he did his best to secure himself another life after death - and this explains why most of the Egyptian monuments are associated with tombs and tombs - but he needs a body to ensure his destination, Without a body, there is no name, no shadow, no heart, which will be needed when you appear in the presence of the gods in the court of the dead. The Ba will not be able to return to the tomb without a body and Ka will be able to survive. ) And the (Ka) will never get eternity .. What is authorized work? How does the ancient Egyptian ensure the survival of his body after death and not to disintegrate and its courtyard?


Anubis weighs the heart of the dead
The solution, of course, lies in embalming, just as the goddess Isis did with the remains of her beloved husband Osiris, the great king of Egypt, whose body was torn apart by his hateful brother and wicked God. Osiris was taken from the dead to become the patron saint of the Egyptians and their beloved, the Lord of the underworld, judge the judge in the court of the dead, and so every Egyptian for three thousand years was keen to save his body, A new life after death, just like his beloved God, would like to unite with the Lord and become immortal like him .. Osiris .. Yala from the idea of ​​sublime, to become a human Lord !.
