The Ancient Egyptians could buy their way into the afterlife?

Well, not exactly, but the powerful and wealthy had many significant advantages when it came to actually reaching paradise.

In Egyptian belief, when someone died their body had to be preserved as it would still be their body in the underworld, which was almost an exact copy of the mortal world.

Without a body, a person was left to be a formless being for all eternitiy.

Even if a person had the funds and support to be mummified and have a tomb, they still had to pass by several tests to judge their character.

Then face numerous foes, who were as wise as they were terrifying.

These beings offer questions, answer correctly, you move forward, fail and your soul is devoured and removed from existance.

Wealth and power gave certain Egyptians access to better education, as well as magical spells, amulets and other objects believed to assist in the afterlife.
