Reincarnation

It is known that the Egyptians believed in reincarnation or the transmigration of the soul. They thought the soul transmigrated from body to body and this was a reason why they embalmed the body in order to preserve it so that it could journey along with ka, an animating force that was believed to be counterpart of the body, which would accompany it in the next world or life. Ka might be considered equivalent to the term of soul. This establishes the dating of the concept of reincarnation back to the ancient Egyptian religion but many think it dates beyond antiquity.



I found many videos about reincarnation the first is simple but true
and the second one is kinda weird but loved the music behind
one of the comments on the second video is "It is a very artistic piece, it just feels more about transformation then reincarnation. But on the whole I really enjoyed it. I was never one to understand art all that much"
