Death And Religion In The Ancient World

Traditionally, human beings have tried to answer the question of the existence of God, and in consequence, the survival of our souls in the beyond, by developing religious and philosophical doctrines and even, in recent years, by applying scientific methods.

On this journey we are about to set out on, we propose focusing the study of death on history, investigating the material record of ancient civilizations as well as more recent ones, analyzing sacred texts to understand those people’s conceptions of the gods, and looking at myths to reach an idea of the mentality of these people who asked themselves, just as we have continued to do up to the present, what the meaning of life and death is.
