In ancient Egyptian mythology, a paradise or fields of the blessed where the deceased were believed to enjoy eternal life after passing judgment.
From ancient Egyptian language, 'Aaru' or 'Aalen' referred to these heavenly fields. The concept appears frequently in Egyptian funerary texts and was a central belief about the afterlife.
The Egyptian concept of Aaru is similar to paradise in other religions, but specifically imagined as fertile fields where the dead would farm and enjoy eternal abundance. This tells us a lot about what ancient Egyptians valued—they imagined heaven as having plenty of food and productive land!
