Best Answer

Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. According to their religion, death was another part of life. It was thought that the dead went to a place called the " Next World"- a land filled with comfort and happiness. The early Egyptians believed that for the pharaohs to enjoy life in the " Next World" they needed their earthly bodies. Therefore, a pharaoh's body was preserved with oils and salts and linen wrappings. A body treated in this way was called a mummy. Ideas about the next "Next World" led ancient Egyptians to believe that the dead would need clothing and food. Thus Tutankhamen, like other pharaohs, was buried with his personal belongings. The "Next World", however, was not a pace only for the rich. Even the poorest Egyptians could make the journey. They, too, were buried with belongings that would help them in the "Next World".
