The merciless Beyond in Ancient Egypt

For the Egyptian faith as in most religions there is a paradise, and it was called Aaru, a abundant and full of life, where finally the souls could rest...but it was not so easy to arrive, since dying was not enough, and several difficult tests had to be overcome.

To reach Aaru, the soul had to go through the 12 lands of hell , known as Duat. This place was even "mapped" and showed a land divided by two roads , these were separated by a river of fire, however, the worst was not the river, but the creatures that lived in it. The land was no safer; It was full of demons and monsters willing to destroy any soul that passed by.The dead should avoid all these obstacles if they wanted to live in paradise, otherwise they would be condemned to oblivion.
