Which scholars "define sḫm (sekhem) as the living force or life-force of the soul which exists in the afterlife after all judgement has been passed"? Examples need to be cited, along with proper endnotes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.39.20.64 (talk) 16:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
In Norman Mailer's novel Ancient Evenings, set in ancient Egypt, he talks about the "seven souls and spirits" which leave the body after death. As well as the five mentioned here we hear about the Sekhem and the Sekhu. Is there any info about what exactly these terms refer to?
I added two new sections to accomodate Sekem and Sekhu. I also edited the introductory paragraph to reflect this and reordered the seven in the order that they leave the body. I am not entirely sure what Sekem is but I added something about Sekhu. - reahad
Is there any difference between the "Sekhu" and the "Ha". They both seem to mean the physical body. Are they simply synonyms? (Several of the other souls have two names.)
