The new episode of History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman is dedicated to myths and tales describing the afterlife — how it works, where it is, how to get there, and how to get out of there (if possible). Our ancestors weren't too scared of the prospect of death — it was more like just moving to another world, a long journey that everyone eventually goes to. But what would happen to you there depended on the person, their good and bad deeds, or on the rituals they performed correctly. *** ADVERTISEMENT — Buy cheap air tickets on Aviasales: https://i.avs.io/1558ne Books: 1.
