I see a beautiful, lush land with abundant vegetation, a large river, and many animals. The Egyptians believed that their souls would continue living in this afterlife. They sought to please the gods by mummifying their bodies and burying them with their possessions. This is different from Christian beliefs, which state that the soul goes to Heaven or Hell after death depending on the individual's deeds.
