I sincerely doubt that the fixation on death was limited to Egypt.
After all, even 2 thousand years after the pyramids were built, at
least 75% of everyone born in one of the most advanced and
hygienic cultures (Rome) was dead BEFORE their mid 40s.
At least 75%.
Death was something they faced all the time.
