Heaven and Hell Review "Heaven and Hell". The Netherworld "Ancient Mesopotamians conceptualized the netherworld as the cosmic opposite of the heavens and as a shadowy version of life on earth. Metaphysically, it was thought to lie a great distance from the realm of the living.

Ancient Egyptian Beliefs in the Afterlife Life After Death "According to the Ancient Egyptians, the body was made up of several parts: the ba or soul, the ka or life force, and aj, the force of divine inspiration of life.
