To the Egyptians, there were six important aspects that made up a human being: the physical body, shadow, name, ka (spirit), ba (personality), and the akh (immortality).
Without a physical body there was no shadow, no name, no ka, ba, or akh, so they would mummify themselves to ensure they would have a successful rebirth in the afterlife.

the ka is the spirit of the dead body, if the body decayed then the ka could not identify its body so embalming was created to preserve bodies
Their beliefs were that if they reserved the pharaohs body that the pharaohs would go to the afterlife.
The idea of the afterlife appealed to the ancient Egyptians because they thought that one day the people they put in the pyramids would rise for the dead and would go into the afterlife.
the way they believed it by the aferlife and they saw one of there elders die and then they had a animal next to them
Their concept of an afterlife was linked with a desire to stay in touch with the physical world. They believed that their bodies would be used throughout eternity and would be reinvigorated with life.

Ancient Egyptians mummified the dead, with the idea that souls, which were believed to be immortal, would be able to use their bodies again.

(Ka- force that leaves the body when it dies.)They also thought that if the body decomposed that the spirit (Ka) would shrivel and vanish.
Yes, extremely. In fact, the Ancient Egyptians believed so strongly in the concept of gods and the afterlife that they erected massive tombs and spent great time and effort to prepare their important people and their rich people for the transition to the afterlife.

punishment and rewards in the afterlife
The Egytians got the idea from the rays of the sun.
It was the ancient egyptain belief that when you die you enter the afterlife. The afterlife was their version of heaven, their idea of life after death. They believed that though their life would end as they knew it, they would have very similar experiences in the afterlife. These experiences would be perfection of the projected thing in this life.
