Welche Vorstellungen über das Leben nach dem Tod für Tiere gab es in der Antike?
Hallo allerseits. Welche Vorstellungen gab es in vorchristlicher Zeit z.B. bei den antiken Griechen, Römern und Germanen dazu wie das Leben nach dem Tod für Tiere aussieht? Sind uns diesbezüglich Überlieferungen aus der Antike erhalten geblieben?
The ancient Egyptians imagined life after death as a continuation of this life in the “Gefielden der Binsen”. If the weighing of her heart was successful. There were also animals. In some murals this is shown where you can see fish, birds, cattle, etc. I don’t know whether a specific animal, like a pet, or a farm animal, could enter the bins’ gefielde with its owner. Mummy-fected animals had cultic meaning, but if animals were also mummified to “take them” I don’t know.
In Egyptian antiquity, not only humans were mummified, but also animals, because they could also live according to the beliefs of the Egyptians, then continue to live https://www.nationalgeographic.de/geschichte-und-kultur/2023/04/altes-aegypten-die-geheimenisse-der-tiersarkophage As you can see, not only cats, but Ibis, cow, snake, jackal, etc. were mumiified. There was the business of mumification and one could live well https://www.nationalgeographic.de/geschichte-und-kultur/2019/11/die-tiermumien-industrie-des-alten-aegypten
I think it’s like in the afternoon.
I’d have to search more accurately – here again Wiki.
