Why do ancient egyptians make mummies?

Answer 1

The Egyptians mummified the dead because they believed that after the body was was buried, the spirit would be reunited with the body, and they would go on to the afterlife. So they didn't want the body to decay. They believed their pharaohs were direct descendants (sons) from the sun "god" Ra, and that they must be protected, even in death.

It was believed that after a person died, the soul would be released in something called the ba and the ka, an invisible copy. These two would live in the tomb for sometime which is why the tomb was built in gold for those higher ranked. The point of mummification was to help the ba and ka recongize the body so it could move on to the afterlife. To help with this process, the Book of the Dead was buried with he ba and ka to help them move on.
