What were the ideas of the afterlife among the ancient people?

Ancient people believed that every person has a soul. People believed that when the soul leaves the body, physically a person dies, but his soul continues to live. They strove to provide the deceased during burial with everything that he needed during his lifetime, so they began to put food, clothes, weapons in the burial. The souls of the ancestors could, according to ancient people, interfere in the affairs of the living, help or harm them.
