Ka Ba Akh Ancient Egypt
Egyptian Ka, Ba, and Akh represented different facets of the soul’s existence in the afterlife journey. The Ka needed sustenance to continue its existence in the tomb; the Ba was the aspect of the soul that could move freely and interact with the living; and the Akh was the ultimate goal of the soul’s transformation, leading to eternal life among the gods. Proper burial practices and funerary rituals were crucial to ensuring the well-being of these soul aspects and securing a favorable outcome in the afterlife for the deceased.
