Egyptain pyramids were originally built to serve tombs for kings and queens. After a ruler died, his or her body was carefully treatedd and wrapped to preserve it as a mummy. According to ancient Egyptain belief, the pyramid, were the mummy was placed, provided a place for the king to pass into the afterlife. In temples nearby, priest preformed rituals to nourish the dead monarchs spirit, which was belived to stay with the dead body after dead.
