Here are some key terms used in ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife, which you could consider "another word for paradise":
* Aaru: This is the closest equivalent to a "paradise" in ancient Egypt. It's a fertile, idyllic land where the righteous dead lived eternally in bliss, enjoying bountiful harvests, feasting, and eternal youth.
* Field of Reeds: A different version of the afterlife, where the deceased would live in a peaceful, idyllic setting, similar to Aaru but less explicitly described as a land of eternal joy.
* Duat: The underworld, a vast and mysterious realm that the deceased soul had to navigate. While not "paradise" itself, the Duat contained various chambers and zones where the soul could be judged and rewarded.
* Osiris's Kingdom: The realm ruled by the god Osiris, the god of the underworld. It was a place of judgment and transformation, where souls were weighed to determine their fate in the afterlife.
It's important to remember that the ancient Egyptians saw death not as an end but as a transition. The deceased soul had to journey through the Duat, face judgment, and ultimately attain a renewed life in the afterlife. The "paradise" or desired outcome wasn't guaranteed and depended on the soul's actions during their earthly life.
