In ancient Egypt, the direction east was considered the direction of life, because the sun rose in the east. thus they built villages and cities on this side of the river Nile. West was considered the direction of death, or entering the underworld, because the sun set in the west. Thus they built all the tombs at this side of the river Nile. On this Egyptian tree of life, note that the birds representing the first four stages of life all face to the east, but the bird representing old age faces to the west, anticipating the approach of his death.
