Upside-Down Burials in Ancient Egypt

In ancient Egypt, some people were deliberately buried upside down a shocking ritual that defied

sacred traditions. These were not ordinary burials but grim fates reserved for criminals,

traitors, or those deemed cursed. Egyptians believed this would confuse

their souls, forever denying them the afterlife. Doomed to wander in eternal darkness,

with no prayers, protection spells, or their names inscribed on tombs. Archaeologists who

unearthed these peculiar graves were bewildered by such a taboo practice.

Why did they fear these individuals so profoundly, even in death? Their actions must

have been terrifying, dangerously unforgettable, to warrant such a severe sentence.
