Userkaf and his Pals Welcome Immortality!

There is a lot of theory describing life after death, especially given masses of people who live in a world filled with non-scientific ideas. Since astronomers really have no concrete idea of what or where humans are with respect to the universe, one must resign oneself to exist as a limited thinker. After all, the human mind is limited in its knowledge of math and physics as many answers are not available to people. Even though there are some things that people do not understand as individuals, the unknown science may be explored in the future, meaning that there is much information and improvement in knowledge that is to come. Another possibility is that this information may have been already known and believed at some time in ancient history, and lost in a recorded or non-recorded historical event.

Either case indicates the lack of information pertinent to having accurate knowledge today. In fact, the sheer amount of things that the world does not understand on any given subject is immense. The human race is a very confused people, and it is a miracle that they know anything at all with any reliable certainty. Nevertheless, people are always thinking about something absurd or pondering the impossible, busily trying to make their minds useful.

Logical reasoning is a useful tool but it does not help to support many of the plausible, yet unproven ideas that people have. It will provide definitive answers on many topics in a technological society, which is what the world is presently. The inadequacy of the modern methods is evident, though, as will be seen only in an environment governed by anti-science, which is what many of the ancients practiced. It is speculated that the knowledge possessed by them surpassed the factual database the way it is today, and led them to hold such beliefs that are unheard of or described as superstition. For example, it is well known that they were wholehearted believers in deities and made enthusiastic preparations for the afterlife.

Conclusion? Not necessarily.
