Dr. Raouf Obeid says in his book The Return to Embodiment, quoting the author Foutan, that this belief found its way to the ancient Egyptians three thousand years before Christ, as he said: "Before birth this child lived, and death is not an end for him; life comes and goes like the sun when it begins its day anew."

Furthermore, the Anana Papyrus, which dates back to the year (1220 BC), contains the following phrase: "Man returns again to life several times, but he does not remember his previous lives except as a dream, or as a thought linked to a previous incident, and he cannot specify the time or place of this incident; but he merely knows that it is a familiar incident to him. In the end, his previous lives will be revealed to him.

Professor Mustafa Al-Kik says in his book / Transmigration of Souls in the year (1976 AD): The ancient Egyptians, possessors of the oldest integrated religious beliefs, used to believe that the soul remains until it returns to resume its second life. Its new embodiment is not linked to its previous human life; thus, its embodiment in human embryos is not a reward, nor is it a punishment in animal ones. For the requital it faces for goodness and wrongdoing occurs in the final embodiment when it must face the deities.
