In the final stage, the Pharaoh prepared to be reborn as Ra and the sun itself. Once he made it through the cavern, he emerged as the sun god, Ra.

1. One of the most intriguing tales of Ancient Egypt is that
of the Afterlife. Laid out step-by-step in the Book of
the Dead, the Pharaoh must embark on an amazing journey to attain his
ultimate goal of becoming the sun god, Ra.
The Death of a Pharaoh
As soon as a Pharaoh died, the process of embalming and preparing him for the afterlife began. All
of the organs, except the heart, were removed from the body and placed in separate
canopic jars. Each jar was topped with the god or goddess that represented that organ.
The
process of
embalming
was a very
intricate
and
important
ritual. This
practice
took 70
days to
complete.
When mummification was complete,
the Pharaoh was placed in a
tomb that was created for him, and all of his riches and personal possessions were added

All of these items were thought to assist the Pharaoh in the trials of the Underworld.
The Journey Begins
Before a Pharaoh could face the trials of the Twelve Great Halls, he first had to secure passage in
the form of a boat that would carry him down the river of the Underworld.
Once a Pharaoh was placed in his tomb, his spirit would descend into the Underworld where he
would meet with a group of guards and the gods Heka, Sia, and Hu who would help him (along with th

The Twelve Gates of the Underworld
Each hallway in the Underworld was protected by a gate and three guardians (a serpent and two gods)

The gates themselves represented the 12 hours of the night. The Pharaoh would begin his journey at ni
Because of the number of gates, I will only be touching on the most important ones.
Gate One
The first gate was simply the process of the Pharaoh being greetedby the souls of the dead. The gate it
would destroy those who were evil.

Through the eleventh gate, the gods emerged from the battle with Apophis and subdued
him by tying him up. The gods took Apophis
and his 'army' and rendered them incapable
of further attack through dismemberment. The war was over and the gods rejoiced.
It was then time for the Pharaoh to continue to the final stage of his journey.

and the mummification was complete, the dark of night was when the trials he had to go
through played out. The twelve gates took twelve hours and, if the sun rose the
next morning, it meant that the Pharaoh was successful in the Underworld.
On the flip side, they believed that, if a Pharaoh failed, then the sun would no
longer appear and life as they knew it would be destroyed.
