Places

The Field of Reeds — a blessed afterlife of Egyptian speech. Not Duat as the underworld path alone, and not paradise as a bare word.

Also known as Field of Reeds

Egyptian religion

  • Aaru appears in Egyptian religion.

    The Book of the Dead names the Field of Reeds among the blessed afterlife seats the justified may reach. A named Aaru field in that funerary corpus, not Duat as the underworld path alone and not a generic paradise flatten.
