Question

In ancient Egypt shabti statues we’re associated with what aspect of the afterlife?

Answer 1

Answer:

Beginning in the New Kingdom, small human-shaped figurines called shabtis were placed in Egyptian tombs as a common part of the burial equipment. It was believed that the shabti would magically come to life and perform any agricultural or manual labor that the deceased might be required to do in the afterlife.

Explanation

Shabtis are small figures of adult male or female form inscribed with a special formula to be recited (Shabti formula), or figures representing the function expressed in that spell, namely, to carry out heavy manual tasks on behalf of a person in the afterlife.
