Letter: Egyptians were foolish to rely on physical immortality
Tuesday, Dec. 17, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
Expectation is said "The record history of human civilization," in other words "Life" will be found.
Humbug -- All they will find is the first ruler of Egypt at that time. Probably all his family, wealth, a boat, food and his slaves like the pyramids had, but a lot more.
The Egyptians, then, were fools to believe a mummified body "in spirit" can get in a boat with his wealth, food and slaves disappear to a new world. Stupidity goes a long way.
