ghost and afterlife

===Ghosts and the afterlife==={{seeSoulPsycheUnderworldHungry ghostPsychopomp}}{{seeGhost FestivalAll Souls' DayDay of the Dead}}Although the human soul was sometimes symbolically or literally depicted in ancient cultures as a bird or other animal, it was widely held that the soul was an exact reproduction of the body in every feature, even down to clothing the person wore. This is depicted in artwork from various ancient cultures, including such works as the ''[[Egyptian Book of the Dead]]'', which shows deceased people in the afterlife appearing much as they did before death, including the style of dress.
