The Egyptions believed that there were six parts of the soul that were seperated in the afterlife. The six parts were the body, the person's name, a shadow, a ka, (A ka is a double of the Egyptians body that lives forever, but it is often refered to as the soul.) A ba, the personality of the person, and the anakh, the transformed spirit that occurs when the ba and ka are reunited in the afterlife.
