Although the Sadducees did not...
Although the Sadducees did not believe in the afterlife, many ancient peoples did. The
Egyptians provided food, water, and small objects that would aid the dead in their
journey to the next life. Some pharaohs were even buried with boats for their journey
across the heavens. The aboriginal people of North America buried their warriors with
bows and arrows, even horses so that they could continue to hunt in their new world. The
native peoples of the North buried their children with a dog, who would guide them
across the frozen tundra to the next life.
