Can somebody tell me about the Egyptian realm of the dead?
Like, I know about the feather and heart thing, but I want to know more. I heard there are 7 gates or something... Don't copy and paste off of 'Duat wikipiedia' please, I found next to no useful info there.
Also, I want to know about the entrance to the Underworld and the boat and things. Longer the better.
Thanks~!

That would be a VERY lengthy thing to explain...especially since you want no copy and paste either. If you really want to know ALL of this, I suggest the book "Egypt: Gods, Myths, and Religion" by Lucia Gahlin. Not only is it informative about all these things and Ancient Egyptian beliefs, but it has wonderful photographs and such throughout it, esp of the hieroglyphs.

I can't tell you. Egyptian religion seems complex to me. But there are a number of books about it.
