| − | Egyptians considered the night time to be a time of danger and evil. It was when "spirits of the dead roamed and underworld fiends ascended to attack the unwary." In ''Eater of Souls'', Tcha sees jackals dragging Pawah's body. He describes the jackal's call as the "scream of a ka burning in a lake of fire in the netherworld." This indicates that night is the time when evil spirits come out. The god of light, Chons, was responsible for protecting travelers during the night. Additionally, the night was a time of rest. Work ceased and the time of rest began for most people (i.e. farmers, river-boat drivers, and craftsmen).
