senet

In the spiritual landscape of ancient Egypt, Senet was more than a board game; it was a metaphorical bridge that connected the earthly realm with the eternal afterlife. Playing Senet was a ritual that prepared the living for their eventual journey in the afterlife, embodying the belief that death was not an end but a transformation into a new existence. By playing Senet, individuals could engage in a symbolic dialogue with Osiris, the god of the afterlife, seeking his guidance and blessings for a safe passage.
