Right; and remember that Egyptians expected that when they died, if they had been good and were lucky (protector of the dead), they would travel by boat like the sun, giving the right answers and doing the right things as they went, until they arrived at the land of the gods and became pretty much like gods themselves. So, yes, Isis was with them all the way.

And - I love this bit - they were buried, or the important ones were, with tiny model figures which would become their servants in the Afterlife. So, all the work got done but not by living or previously living people: pretty much by humanoid robots.
