no. ressurection to coming back to life as you. Like you woke up from sleeping. Reincarnation is that i would die, and then my spirit/soul/whatever would go into something else.

The Egyptian belief (as far as I know) is that your soul is transported on a boat to the afterlife, where you will be meet by a gatekeeper who you must pay into get into 'heaven' thus the rich were burried with all their riches so they were certain to get in.
Disclaimer-that may be totally wrong, I haven't studied the Egyptian afterlife in about 10 years, but that is what I think I remember lol.
I believe the paying to get in, or at least the boat part is Greek Mythology.
