Gregory Shushan, Ph.D., takes readers on a fascinating exploration of ancient beliefs about death and the afterlife across five regions: Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Mesoamerica. Drawing on anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, Shushan reveals how near-death experiences (NDEs) profoundly influenced religious beliefs, mystical literature, and rituals. Despite developing independently, these civilizations share strikingly similar afterlife concepts, suggesting universal truths rooted in NDEs. Shushan examines how these experiences shaped humanitys understanding of what lies beyond death, offering thought-provoking insights into the metaphysical and the potential nature of an actual afterlife.
