The ancient Egyptians believed that it was important to be buried properly. A proper burial would allow them to live again in the after live. Thus, most people who could afford to, spent a lot of time and effort making sure that they would be buried well.

Most ordinary ancient Egyptians were probably buried in the desert. Their relatives would wrap their body in a simple cloth and bury it with some everyday objects and food.

Often, to save space, ordinary people were buried in the same grave. Another common practice was to buy ordinary citizens in the same grave as animals.

In Ancient Egyptian times peasants were buried in the ground. Some were buried in the mud brick tombs that surround the pyramids if they had died while helping to construct the pyramids.
