they enter the afterlife
To provide a reason to why things happen such as the sun rising and setting and what happens after you after you die.
Long ago Egyptians believed that there was a next life in which they can not die. Now they would believe the same thing as you.
The "soul" to them was the ba and ka: your personality and "uniqueness." You had to be well preserved and mummified so that after you die, your ba and ka could recognize you and return to your body. For you would use that body to go on the journey to the Afterworld. Like Heaven for the ancient Egyptians. :)
The vast majority of Egyptians are Muslim. Muslims believe that the present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed and wrapped in a clean, white cloth (usually by a family member) and buried after a special prayer, preferably the same day.

what happens to the monkeys when they die in the rainforest
they celebrated by bringing a lot of food and eating it and trowing it around (:
Its quite simple really, their relative from the ancient times always tell their children what happens in the life back then. And the stories pass down to the egyptians who are alive today. There simple.
there would be no Egyptians left on earth because they would all die without water.
No. Modern Egyptians are mainly Muslims or Christians. They follow normal burial customs by their religion.
