"Ah..." Wu Chen had already thought of: "In order to protect the god of the sky, she took off her protective bracelet and was dragged into the underworld by countless undead who coveted her."

"So, referring to the operating rules of the big player who is 'Plot-derived plot, distortion-cutting distortion', will the final player who occupyes the mythical punk land use the god of love Hathor as a hostage, and then force the god of sky, Horus, the god of darkness, who is mortal enemy, to join forces to invade our flesh-and-blood punk land?" It is worthy of being Catwoman Katra, who has already learned the key plot elements in the entire distortion divergence line.

"In other words, as long as we can go deep into the underworld and rescue the god of love Hathor, bound by the undead, we can defeat the final players of the mythical punk land by using the method of "plot-derived plot, distortion and cut off distortion". "The shadow lady Beatrix immediately thought of it.

"So, what is the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology like?" Scorpion girl Segpiya asked about the common voice of all the heroines in the outpost.

"In the imagination of the ancient Egyptians, the world after death was a country very similar to that of the world. In this underworld land called Duat, a great river passes through the plains surrounded by mountains like the Nile River. The vast sand on both sides are dotted with small lakes, and the mounds on the sand rise and fall one after another. The only thing that cannot be found in the world is a narrow valley at the end of the west, which will sink into this valley at dusk. Just as the Sun God Ra sails at night, after a person has his life, his soul will come here through Duat, and be with Osiris, the Pluto, until the moment of resurrection.

Although Duert can almost be regarded as a replica of the world in terms of landforms, with the plains and deserts familiar to the Egyptians, it is full of dangers for new arrivals. The souls will be blocked by demons along the way - they are called "evil obstacles from the abyss". On some malicious lakes and mounds, demons will use sticks, spears, nets and even mouse traps to capture and hunt souls. Only by knowing the real name of the demon can you defeat them. Therefore, before the soul sets on the road, it is necessary to carry a map of Duert with a buried spell and a spell to overcome disasters.

But even if the demons are successfully defeated, the soul's journey is only half completed, because the judgment of fate is about to begin. Unlike the sun god Ra who has to go through 12 hours, the soul only needs to spend less than 6 hours to know its final destiny. Osiris sat on the throne, and his image is usually a mummy holding a hook and handle symbolizing the king's power, indicating that his original identity was the ruler of the world and the father of Horus, the patron pharaoh.

It is his wife, Isis, and some murals also have his wife and sister Nephthys. The heart of the deceased is placed at one end of the Osiris scale, and the other end of the scale is the feathers of Maat, the goddess of justice and sacred order. Anubis, the patron saint of the dead with jackal head, is responsible for detecting the degree of inclination of the balance, and the measurement results are recorded on papyrus through Thoth, the god of wisdom with ibid head.

If the Osiris balance tends toward the end of Maat's feather, it means that the soul is innocent and entitled to immortality; on the contrary, the balance will tend toward the side of the heart, which means that the soul sinks because of too much sin and loses the opportunity to atone for sin. Therefore, the "devourer of the punished soul" - the monster Ammut, will have an extra meal: Once the soul is judged to be evil, the heart of the deceased is destined to fall into the bloody mouth of the monster with a dog-headed front legs and a hippo-legged hind legs.

People are worried that they cannot pass this level, so they use scarab amulet amulet to be judged instead of their hearts. It is said that the mantra on the amulet can prevent the heart from revealing their sins during their lifetime. In addition, the deceased also needs to express their innocence in a ceremony called "negating confession". These crimes may be treason, deception, and killing, but they are mainly mistakes made in daily life, including bragging, violation of property laws, etc. The soul must speak the true name of each God in front of a jury composed of 42 Gods who identify the crimes.

Of course, this is not an easy task, because the name of the gods may be long, very similar, with many variations; the soul may not correctly state its good conduct due to tension, shyness, stuttering and other issues. Ancient Egyptians who knew that they were prepared would be well prepared before they set out on their way. The documents unearthed from the tombs showed that the burial objects contained not only scarab amulets, but also a large number of spells, a list of god names, and prayers such as "How to Not Decay in the Underworld", "A Proposal to the Labor of the Underworld". A defense from the Book of the Dead provides a typical formula for people: "Oh, a distant messenger from Heliopolis, I have never told a lie in my life; Oh, the owner of the fire from Heraha, I have never robbed in my life...'

Although these contents are often quite precise in guiding the dead to obtain eternal life, they provide more than one view on the destination of the soul. In some unearthed burial documents, the soul eventually ascends to heaven. In the Pyramids of the Ancient Kingdom period (2686-2181 BC), the dead Pharaoh ascended to the starry sky, becoming the stars surrounding the northern celestial pole, and joining the patrol of the sun godla. In order to pass through the eastern sky, the dead Pharaoh must call the boatman of the underworld, and the boatman is called the "person who looks back" because he faces his face behind him when he ferries. However, the Pharaoh must meet these two conditions before the boatman accepts the prayer: the Pharaoh must prove himself truly innocent, and say the name of the boatman and the names of the various parts of the boat-the Egyptians once again unite fate and name.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that you have just crossed the lake of heaven. Once you get ashore, a messenger will come out to greet the Pharaoh and inform other gods of his arrival. Some legends mention that the dead Pharaoh would occupy important places in the court of the dead, just like they ruled Egypt during their lifetime. Others say that Pharaoh became the secretary of the Sun God La, responsible for stamping the documents of the Sun God La or helping to issue edicts. Obviously, the role of the secretary greatly reduced the supreme power that Pharaoh enjoyed as a ruler in the world, so this statement gradually became less popular. During the Middle Kingdom period (2133-1786 BC), The Book of Two

Ways provides two optional ways for the souls of the dead to reach the kingdom of Osiris. This idea of ​​connecting immortality with Osiris, the god of resurrection, is becoming increasingly popular. The ancient Egyptians long to be with Osiris after death. In Egyptian mythology, he is the son of Geb, the god of earth, and Nut, the goddess of sky, who teaches humans the knowledge of cultivating grains and becomes a beloved king. However, his younger brother Seth, envies him and throws him into a box and into the Nile; in other versions, Seth becomes a crazy person
