Funerary practices, rites and meaning The Nile civilization continues to arouse as much admiration as bewilderment, despite the centuries that have passed since its disappearance as a culture. Its gigantic pyramids, extraordinary tombs and temples, along with its refined art, testify to an astonishing legacy of knowledge. However, all this was deeply conditioned by their religion, which played a central role in the life of the Egyptians. This religion, of a practical nature, had as its main objective to prevent the second death and guarantee the second birth, concepts essential to their worldview. In this book, the author delves into the subtle and profound spiritual ideology of the ancient Egyptians, especially in their account of what happened after physical death. Through its pages, the reader will be immersed in the analysis of rituals and ceremonies, the process of mummification, the different forms of burials, funerary texts, and the spiritual bodies of human beings and their function. It also explores the construction of the 'body of light', a central theme in his vision of the afterlife. In addition, the author leads us to reflect on intriguing concepts, such as the possibility that the ancient Egyptians did not have gods in the conventional sense, or that the pyramids may have had a function other than simply being tombs. The book also presents an interesting hypothesis about the design of the constructions on the Giza plateau. With the help of a ruler and a compass, the reader will be able to follow the author's proposal and see how his theory substantially modifies what has been accepted so far about these enigmatic constructions. "How can one die twice?" What does 'a second death' mean? And, most puzzling of all, how was it possible for medieval stonemasons to adopt this teaching from Egypt? The answer to these questions, and many others, is found in these fascinating pages." Mariano F. Urresti, writer.
