Ancient Egyptians believed that whatever was placed with the Pharaoh or significant person in their tomb would follow them to the after life. Pet companions were mummified along with these people in order that they could transcend life into the after life. This is also why riches were placed in the tombs, for apparently things were still materialistic in the after life.
