End of the universeEgyptian texts typically treat the dissolution of the world as a possibility to be avoided, and for that reason they do not often describe it in detail. However, many texts allude to the idea that the world, after countless cycles of renewal, is destined to end. This end is described in a passage in the Coffin Texts and a more explicit one in the Book of the Dead, in which Atum says that he will one day dissolve the ordered world and return to his primeval, inert state within the waters of chaos. All things other than the creator will cease to exist, except Osiris, who will survive along with him.[100] Details about this eschatological prospect are left unclear, including the fate of the dead who are associated with Osiris.[101] Yet with the creator god and the god of renewal together in the waters that gave rise to the orderly world, there is the potential for a new creation to arise in the same manner as the old.[10

If you refer to Egyptian mythology, your answer would be no. In that case Egyptians believe in an after life that you will enjoy. I have read once in a book about Egyptians saying that you can do any thing you cant do when you are alive.

How far is a country mile?

A country mile was originally coined in ancient Egyptian times, with the word 'country' loosely translated from the Egyptian word for "pharoah's land". Archaelogists have discovered ancient tablets referring to the 'pharoah's land distance' as the distance of all the pharoah's pyramids end to end. By today's measurement standards, a country mile is approximately 12,765 feet (US).


When did the Egyptian civilization end?

How many years ago were the Egyptians?

they were last there at 2650BC and now its 2010 so that is............................................ 4660 years ago and the pyramids are still standing! It's debatable when the Egyptian Empire actually ended. It had been in decline for a long time before the end came. It is acceptable to use the death of the last Pharaoh as the end point of Ancient Egypt. The last Egyptian Pharaoh was Cleopatra and she reigned from 51-30 B.C. With Cleopatra's death came the end of the Egyptian Pharaohs. By the time Cleopatra came to power, there wasn't much of an Empire left. It was an imperial province of the Roman Empire. So about 2000 years since the end of the Ancient Egyptian Empire.
