person who died, because they know that they can’t take their things with them once they die. Egyptians put everything that they thought would be useful for that person in their afterlife into their burial chamber with them.

In contrast to the mummification process that the female lead actress described in the film where the heart is taken out. Ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was the “center of reason and emotion” (Ryan, n.d.). The heart said to be the core and soul of the deceased would be essential in the afterlife as the god of embalming and the afterlife, Anubis, would weigh one’s heart on a scale with a feather and only if the heart was as light as the feather or lighter, would the soul be allowed to enter the afterlife. It was believed that by mummifying the body, the soul of the deceased would be able to stay immortal. However, Imhotep, who shared an adulterous affair with Seti I’s wife, Anck-Sun-Amun, and later killed the pharaoh, would not have been mummified alive like portrayed in the film as mummification in ancient Egypt was a privilege reserved for royalty and the rich. According to the law during New Kingdom Egypt, Imhotep would have been executed for his crimes, and if the Great Kenbet, the ancient Egyptian judicial system deemed fit, Imhotep’s punishments could also extend to the family.

Furthermore, the U.S. and its 70 Allies through Operation Inherent Resolve Campaign aim to defeat ISIS and promoting regional stability. The last key players are rival terrorist franchises or organizations like AQ, Taliban, Al Shabaab, and Hamas

Geb’s son, Osiris, was the god of afterlife. He was murdered by his own brother Seth, which they think was the cause of the droughts, but his miraculous rebirth caused the flooding of the Nile valley. He was married to his sister Isis and had a son named Horus. Osiris also had another sister, Nephthys. It was said that Osiris was the one who brought civilization to the ancient Egyptian. He left and showed the Egyptians many things, but while he was gone Seth planned to kill him. His plan worked, he killed Osiris and threw him into the Nile River, but Isis found his body only to let Seth rip it into 14 pieces. Isis and Nephthys worked together and found every piece except one, which was eaten by the Nile fish. Isis recovered him just long enough to have Horus, which would be the future king of Egypt.

In the top register, Hunefer is shown kneeling before 14 gods of the underworld, as he has finally been accepted into the afterlife. By the time of the New Kingdom, Egyptians had come to believe that only an individual whose actions were good would be able to enjoy an afterlife.

When a goddess called Inanna, came to the underworld, Ereshkigal made her take off a piece of clothing every time she came to each of the seven gates of the underworld. Ereshkigal knew that if Inanna came to her naked, she would lose her powers and her immortality. Osiris was the brother and husband of the goddess Isis.

First, a prayer was said to the goddess of birth and death, Ani; then Thoth, the god of scribes makes a speech. After a plea to the god Anubis (embalming), the god Horus introduces the goddess Ani to Osiris. Ani makes a speech, and then the deceased's heart--which was viewed as the seat of intelligence--was weighed against the Feather of Knowledge.

“Zarqawi an associate collaborator of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda lieutenants”. These words are part of Colin Powell’s speech presented at the Security Council. These words of a Secretary of State (2001-2005) have drawn a connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq. These words have really started the disaster (Kirk).

Michael Kirk, creator of “The Secret History of ISIS”, reveals the great influence of mass media, implies the importance politics, and how individuals with authority can become a disaster.
