I have a question about the Kemetic afterlife, i was reading a bit of one book in a shop yesterday, that, you had to make a journey, that was dangerous, and that the Egyptian Book of the Dead tells you the types of deities you'll meet, the demons, and other beings you'll meet on the way, and how to get there, i'd like to know more about the Kemetic view of demons (as i'm interested in learning about the supernatural beings as well as the religion).
Also, i've read in a few books and sites, that the afterlife was a great place, where you do pretty much what you do on this realm/plane, like have sex, eat, drink (work?), is this true?, also is there any more to it, like is the afterlife the same place where the gods are or are they in a different realm.
And, in your opinion or the Kemetic view, are the other realms of the dead considered seperate (e.g. Olympus, Hades, Jewish/Christian/Islamic Heaven and Hell, etc).
Thanks.
