Egypt and Greece views on the After Life.

Egyptians and Greece views on the afterlife are very different from each other. In Egypt they believe that once they die they will be going to the God Horus to be judged. However to get there was very hard. The path to the afterlife as laid out in the Book of the Dead was a difficult one. The dead was required to pass a series of gates, caverns and mounds guarded by supernatural creature. These Creature often had huge weapons and could only be stopped by chanting the appropriate spells. Once you had made it the judging had begun. Your heart was to be place on the scale with a feather, if the feather was lighter than the heart than you passed but if you did not you would had been stuck in limbo sort of speak forever.l 

"The Greeks believed that at the moment of death the psyche, or spirit of the dead, left the body as a little breath or puff of wind. The deceased was then prepared for burial according to the time-honored rituals." ( Source listed below"
