- **Event Description**: will explore ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife and the role of mummification with an expert Egyptologist!About this EventMummies are synonymous with ancient Egypt, but they meant much more than just preserving a body for eternity. This lecture will explore ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife and the role of mummification. Attaining a blessed state after death was not about how many treasures were placed in a person’s tomb, but whether they had lived a moral life. Bodies were mummified to transform them into a statue that the soul could visit—and the same rituals "activated" a mummy that enabled a statue to receive a human or divine spirit. The template for an eternal life was the journey of the sun god Re through the heavens and the Underworld and his visit to his own corpse, Osiris. Yet, the ancient Egyptians believed that decomposition of a corpse did not prevent a person from attaining a blessed afterlife. Learn not just how the ancient Egyptians practiced mummification, but why.Free Admission.
