Book of the Dead

Background: You have read a secondary source, Reading on Maat, and a primary source, excerpt from the Book of the Dead (Negative Confessions). Both sources include information that supports the idea that ancient Egyptians mummified their dead in accordance with their religious traditions and understanding of the afterlife. Mummification, however, is only one way that Egyptians prepared themselves for the afterlife.

Prompt: Considering the evidence each document uses, write an essay that explains how the Egyptians prepared themselves for the afterlife other than through mummification.
