Aaru – Field Of Reeds: Kingdom Of Osiris Was The Ancient Egyptian Paradise
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The ancient Egyptians held a deeply intricate and intriguing perspective on life after death. They did not perceive death as a final stop but as a gateway to another realm, a different kind of reality.
