Duat Dw3t Land des Jenseits |
|||||
Mit Duat (koptisch Amenthes) bezeichneten die Alten Ägypter das Jenseits, in das der Verstorbene nach seiner Bestattung und Wiedergeburt eintrat. Die jenseitige Welt war in zwei Bereiche aufgeteilt. Das dunkle Totenreich gleichen Namens lag westlich des Nils unter der Erde, das lichte Sechet-iaru (Earu) dagegen in der Region Ta-djeser. Am westlichen und östlichen Horizont berührten sich die unterirdische und himmlische Duat.
In der unteren Duat musste der Tote eine Reihe von Gefahren (z. B. Dämonen) überstehen. Auch das Totengericht fand dort statt. Bestand der Verstorbene die dort gestellten Prüfungen, durfte er nach Earu.
Vom Wort Duat leitet sich Amduat ab, das königliche Unterweltsbuch des ägyptischen Neuen Reiches.

Lettris
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
