Which, in turn, indicates that a number of them, at the very least, believed in the afterlife. If they are taught there is an afterlife, adults believed there was an afterlife and by default, at least some of their children did as well.

. . . and if this judgment comes after death?
Quote:How about the other cultures whose burials indicate belief in an afterlife?
There is no such culture, other than the Egyptian!
You're not serious, are you?
Quote: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!!
You're still kidding, right?
