  7. Egyptian Beliefs • The Egyptians believed that the soul had three parts-- • The ba, which was a human headed bird dissected into a person’s body, and it could take over the body when ever it wanted. • Also, the ba could leave the tomb, but had to come back at a certain time.

  8. More Beliefs • The ka was an animal that turned into a human. • It was known as a “double person” • It was usually represented as an human figure • The ka also had physical emotions • It could leave the tomb and did not have to return. • The ka also depended on objects. • For example, if an object was stolen from the tomb or a museum, the ka would haunt that person until he returned it.

  9. Additional beliefs • The akh represented diseases • In other words, it means that if a person had a disease, the Egyptians believed that part of the soul was giving illness. • Also, the akh made a journey to the underworld when a person died. • If a person who died was good, a bird would take the soul of that person to the afterlife. • If the person was bad, the bird would just leave the dead soul of the person.
