Myths regarding the afterlife differ significantly among cultures, shaped by diverse beliefs, rituals, and concepts of existence beyond death. For instance, in ancient Egyptian mythology, the focus is on the journey through the Underworld and the weighing of the heart, while in Christianity, heaven and hell represent eternal destinations based on moral choices. In contrast, some Eastern philosophies view the afterlife as a cycle of rebirth until enlightenment is achieved. These differences illustrate how cultural values and understandings of life and death shape beliefs about what follows after the mortal experience.
