You declare you are an atheist.
You do not believe in gods, immortal souls and afterlife.
You are a reasonable person and you, as well all reasonable persons, would have never produced these ideas. Am I right?
I suppose you say that I am right and then I ask you: Why then you believe that there were so many stupid persons all over the globe who not only produced these ideas but made others believe in them too?
Did they teach you at school how it happened and these ideas were produced? No, they did not, because they either do not know or they don’t like preaching such things. All these ideas were produced by the cooperation of a number of factors at a certain time and so could have only been produced once (it is not only the atheists who are reasonable persons but, as you know, the human mind can be programmed early in life).
So, we go back to the Egyptians. The manner of their burials, which were conducted according to the rules of the priesthood, only proves that the Egyptians as kids were taught that there was an afterlife. The texts are evidence that the people did not believe in a life after death but in a life after judgment.
How about the other cultures whose burials indicate belief in an afterlife?
There is no such culture, other than the Egyptian!
If there is belief in an afterlife there must be preservation of the body because the dead person is going to work, to drink and eat and make love in afterlife!!

Fire is not a magical mean.
The mythical being was a whole tribe of murderers and what information you get from this legend of “two towns of a myth” is that gods were killing men. A message so many stations all over the earth transmit.
Stop being a conformist.. amigo querido.
