Sarcophagus
The Egyptians sarcophagus often contained a coffin and an inner coffin known as a mummy board. Both the sarcophagus and the coffin could be very plain or extremely ornate.
The sarcophagus was constructed in ancient Egypt around 7,500 to 5,000 years ago. It was used for people like the Pharaoh and other important people.
The mummy is placed in a ceremonial coffin called a sarcophagus, which is then stored in a tomb. The most important tombs (such as those of the pharaohs) are enclosed inside of pyramids and other grand structures.
Sarcophagus is a noun meaning a stone coffin; commonly used for important people in ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Example sentence: The sarcophagus was carved with symbols that the archaeologist hoped would tell them who was buried in it.

A Sarcophagus
The sarcophagus was a very important part of the burial of an Egyptian. Its markings and beauty on the outside reflected how well the person inside lived (in terms of wealth). Buried withing the sarcophagus was the mummy and the canopic jars (holding the mummy's organs) so the sarcophagus had to be built sturdy and durable to keep the dead protected. Pets and gold may have also been buried along with the mummy, though probably not within the sarcophagus. Plus, the sarcophaguses of ancient Egyptians have given us a look back into the art and culture of the Egyptians. So I would say they were very important.
