In the funeral customs of the ancient Egyptians, the body is the residence of the soul, and death is just the process of the soul leaving the body. When the soul returns to the body, the deceased will be resurrected.
Out of this belief, they believed that the body of the deceased would still be needed and used again by the deceased, so the ancient Egyptians invented mummification, a technology to properly preserve the body of the deceased, and mummified the body of the deceased for long-term preservation in the next life.
.
What guides the soul of the deceased to find his body and return to the body is the heart, the symbol of the soul of the deceased.
This also leads to the fact that in ancient Egyptian funeral customs, the heart must never leave the body.
Because once the heart is taken out of the body, the soul cannot return to the body and becomes a lonely ghost with no peace forever.
But there is one exception.
In ancient Egypt, there was no such thing as heaven or kingdom of gods. After everyone died, their souls would be taken to Hades by Anubis, the god of death, to accept the judgment of Osiris, the god of Hades.
Those who pass the judge can enter Yalu and gain eternal life, while those who fail to pass the judge will have their souls eaten.
Therefore, there was no such thing as belief in a certain god in ancient Egypt and salvation after death.
However, it is not impossible for the gods to protect the souls of one or two believers, but it is not beneficial to the gods.
Just like a person doesn't care about an ant, why do gods need to care about a mortal?
Of course, just as some people are addicted to raising pets and even regard pets as "masters", some humans who can please the gods can also obtain the protection of divine grace.
Some of these people are called God's chosen ones, and some are called dependents. Although there are different opinions, they all have a common characteristic, they are all people chosen by the gods.
“In the ancient Egyptian era, Sekhmet would select his favored ones from among powerful warriors and bestow them with great strength, and these warriors would sacrifice the enemies they killed to Sekhmet so that she could
Drink blood in exchange for more divine grace." The curator pointed to the paintings and texts on the ancient scrolls and explained to Chen Mo and Adebe: "Occasionally, there will be powerful women favored by Sekhmet.
, they will receive more powerful gifts, one of which is to transform into a lion's body and have the power of an adult lion."
"The ones we met before..." When Chen Mo heard the curator say this, the expression on his face suddenly changed and his eyes narrowed.
If it were just a high priest, Chen Mo would certainly not be afraid, but if there were gods involved, this would not be something he could handle now.
"Those should be just instant cannon fodder catalyzed by magic. The real Sekhmet lion warriors need to hunt down a male lion with their own hands and sacrifice in front of Sekhmet's altar in order to obtain Sekhmet.
The power given is a powerful warrior transformed by divine power, not the inferior cannon fodder we encountered before." Facing Chen Mo's guess, the curator shook his head and rejected Chen Mo's guess.
Hearing what the curator said, Chen Mo felt relieved, but the fear in his heart became more intense.
Just inferior imitations transformed by spells are so powerful in combat. If they were real Sekhmet warriors, how powerful would they be?
With awe and fear for the gods, Chen Mo also coveted the power of the gods.
But at the moment, it is obvious that he is not qualified to covet these things, let alone care about Sekhmet, the god of war who is famous in Egyptian mythology.
For Chen Mo, it is more important to deal with the threat posed by Immorton first.
"These Sekhmet warriors have been dedicated to the gods, both physically and mentally. They used battles to please the gods while they were alive. After death, their souls returned to the realm of the gods and continued to fight and fight for the gods. Their bodies also
Belonging to the gods, it is the medium through which the lion warriors under Sekhmet who have entered her divine domain and received the baptism of divine power will descend. The mummies of the best warriors among them are even the body used by Sekhmet himself when he descends from the gods.
"The curator told an astonishing fact and emphasized: "If Ansuna is a warrior of Sekhmet and a warrior chosen by God, then her body will most likely be that of Sekhmet.
A special vessel!
This is why Immorton wanted to steal the Black Book of the Dead and had to resurrect Ansuna in Hamna Tower, because only here could he use the power of Anubis, the god of death, to resurrect Ansuna.
The soul was summoned back and returned to Ansuna's own body.
Otherwise, if resurrected elsewhere, even if Immorton is the high priest and holds the Black Book of the Dead in his hand, he will not be able to summon Ansuna's soul back from the hands of God Sekhmet!"
"If that's the case, then why didn't Immorton come to Hamnatta? I don't think he gave up resurrecting Ansuna." Adebe, who was listening to the discussion between Chen Mo and the curator, suddenly frowned and asked
road.
This problem also troubled the curator and Chen Mo. In fact, according to the original movie plot, after Immorton obtained the Black Book of the Dead and the sacrifice Evelin he chose, he rushed back to Hamna Tower.
He gave up control of Cairo and only thought about resurrecting Ansuna.
But now he did not rush back to Hamna Tower, but stayed in Cairo, with a tendency to dominate the territory.
This is really not in line with Immorton's style of doing things, unless there is something unexpected that they don't know about.
"Director, what does Immortal need to resurrect Ansuna?" Chen Mo pondered his thoughts and decided to deduce it from the beginning to see if there was anything he missed: "Except for corpses and organs containing internal organs.
Funeral urn, are there any other necessities?"
Hearing Chen Mo's question, the curator also fell into thinking. He thought for a while before answering: "It's not easy for me to answer you, because different resurrection rituals require different things, but what you said
Bodies and funeral urns are indeed necessary items.
In addition, as Ansuna, if Immorton wants to resurrect her elsewhere, he will need an altar of Sekhmet, but if he chooses to be in Hamna Tower, it will be much simpler, Hamm
The underground of Nata is the most suitable place in Egypt for holding resurrection ceremonies. The underground springs lead directly to the River Styx, which can easily bring the souls of the deceased back from the underworld."
"Really? Is Ansuna's body also buried in Hamna Tower? If that's the case, I think we should ask Miss Evelin to help find this body." Chen Mo didn't know that Yimo
Dun wanted to do something, but he expected to get Ansuna's body. No matter what plan he had, Immorton had to come and snatch the body.
