In the tomb beside the pharaoh was many of the ruler's most prized possessions. For example, there were mini gods and goddesses statues, as well as paintings on the wall expressing the many deeds of the pharaoh. There were also containers that contained the pharaohs intestines and much more.

Usually in Egypt, after the body is mummified, they'd put it in a tomb ( a coffin with a figure of a person or a pharaoh at the front) and would store it in a pyramid. In the tomb, they would also put jewels and special things that the mummified person owned. Hope this helps :)


What is the oldest pyramid in the Egypt?

The oldest Egyptian pyramid is the Pyramid of Djoser. It was built in the 3rd Dynasty - planned by Imhotep as a solution to previous Pharaoh burial sites being robbed by thieves. Pyramids would offer better protection to the dead Pharaohs as they had a maze-like structure, dead-ends, booby traps and secret rooms. They even added the extra touch of trying to scare people away by placing "curses" on those who disturb them.
