EGYPTIANS AFTERLIFE

TITLE OF THE ARTICLES :

Semitic Museum: Egypt:Magic and the Afterlife

(Harvard University)

Egyptian Afterlife written

by John Galvin(Magazine National

Geographic.)


3/6

Many details about Semitic Museum.

(5 paragraphs were writtin about it)e.g. Around a corner and near the door to the basement is theSemitics largest Egyptian monument, part of carved limestone doorjamb from the Temple of Amun at Karnak.

The enfolding wings of the sun-disk over the second-floor gallerydoors beckon visitors to come inside and see more of the

Museums Egyptian collection on display in Ancient Egypt: Magicand the Afterlife.

Difference between 2 articles :1st article - Egyptians beliefs on what happens after death, and the

efforts made to prepare the dead for the afterlife.2nd article - the founding of compelling evidence that ancientEgyptians indeed were engaged in human sacrifice.


4/6

Different writing style of the writers.

John Galvinswriting style is more lively

and interesting compare to the 1st article.

e.g. a good storyteller used narrative way & flashback

technique.

-- Supported story with scientific analysis and researches.

e.g.

Once the crew reached the enclosure's floor, they discovered six

surrounding graves. Three contained the bodies of adult women, one

held the remains of a man, and one held a young child with 25 ivorybracelets embellished with tiny lapis beads. The sixth grave remains

unexcavated. In each case the archaeological evidence pointed to a

sacrificial death.


5/6

Content of the 1st article (boring) Too many facts and statements.

Content unreliable. Why?

a. No name of the writer in the website.

b. No sources and evidences to prove its statement

c. Used many difficult words.

e.g.

Stelae, erected just outside the tomb or some distance away in a temple,preserved the names and titles of the dead. Stelae reminded family membersand even strangers to think of the dead and to recite the standard offering

formula that was carved on almost all of them. Doing this provided sustenancebeyond the grave.

The Egyptians left nothing to chance, and no opportunity was missed to ensure

that the dead would continue to be fed. The offering formula appeared onalmost every Egyptian funerary monument stelae, false doors, offeringtables, and even the coffins themselves.

The formula reveals that it was the reigning king of Egypt who was ultimatelyresponsible for the well-being of the dead. By making offerings to the gods, theking was also taking care of the Egyptians who had already passed on.
