Each of the following was necessary for an egyptian to reach the afterlife except a. mummification b. prayer to amun c. possession of earthly goods d. travel through the underworld

C. possession of earthly goods

Explanation:

    According to the Egyptian belief system, death consisted of a process in which the soul detached itself from the body. With this, they believed that death would be a stage of change to another existence. Being the body understood as the abode of the soul, there was a great concern to preserve the body of the deceased. Thus, various mummification techniques have been developed that can preserve a corpse for years to come.

   The mummification was performed by a specific professional. After removing the viscera, the person's remains were rested in a mixture containing sodium carbonate and water. After immersion, various substances and herbs were introduced into the body to prevent tissue deterioration. In the final stage of the procedure, the deceased was bandaged and covered with a glue that prevented air contamination.

     Soon after death, according to Egyptian belief, the individual lost access to all the pleasures and perks he enjoyed in his earthly existence. To reclaim its benefits in its new existence, the person - whatever his social position in life - was led by the god Anubis to appear before the Court of Osiris, where he was assessed by other forty-two beings for his devine errors.

    Prior to the commencement of the trial, the "Book of the Dead" was handed over to the deceased, where he obtained the proper orientations of his behavior during the session to be held. In order to receive the deities' approval, it was necessary that the trial had not committed a series of offenses, such as stealing, killing, committing adultery, lying, causing confusion, maintaining homosexual relations and listening to other people's conversations. At the apex of judgment, Osiris weighed the heart of the deceased on a scale.

    For a person to receive approval, his heart should be lighter than a pity. Otherwise, the individual could not enter the Duat, a kind of underworld of the dead, and his head was devoured by a crocodile-headed god. In this way, Egyptian civilization devoted great importance to their dead and demonstrated through these rituals an intriguing trace of their culture.
