Ba

The Ba is what we might call someones personality. It would leave the body at the time of death. During the days the Ba would make itself useful, at night it would return to the tomb. At this time, it would look for the person to which it belonged. This would be the mummy, however, often the egyptians would supply the Ba with a statue in the likeness of the deceased in case the mummy was lost or damaged.

Ba

Ba可以称为某人的个性。在死亡时它会离开肉体。在白天Ba会使它自己有用，在晚上它就回到坟墓里。在这时，它会寻找它居住的身体。这可以是木乃伊，然而常常埃及人会提供象死者的雕像，在这情形下木乃伊就失去了或损坏了。
