Question

When they died the bodies of kings were preserved and buried in these pyramids? Why do you think the Egyptian people preserved the dead bodies?

Answer 1

The ancient Egyptians had an elaborate set of funerary practices that they believed were necessary to ensure their immortality after death (the afterlife). These rituals and protocols included mummifying the body, casting magic spells, and burial with specific grave goods thought to be needed in the Egyptian afterlife.
