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.
