Logos (Logical)
All people are mortal, yet the ancient Egyptians believed that the Pharaohs become gods. The Pharaohs, like everyone else were people. It then stands to reason that the Pharaohs were mortal and not gods as the ancient Egyptians believed they would become.
Pathos (Emotional)
Pharaohs were beings of immense respectability, and deserving of such praise that they were worshiped as gods. Through the service and praise that the Egyptians bestowed upon these deserved few they were granted a place with their Pharaohs in the afterlife.
Ethos (Ethical)
The ancient people of Egypt believed that by their devotion and service to their Pharaohs they were guaranteed a place in the afterlife of peace and prosperity. Contradictory to this belief is that of Christianity; which states that the way to ‘Heaven’ is through Jesus. These ideologies are comparable in that they both claim that a mortal man upon death ascended to a higher plain of being. This is not to say that either is correct or wrong, only that one’s faith is the deciding factor.
