Where kings and queens were buried in ancient Egypt?

"Interred" would be a better word than "buried", and the answer depends upon the dynasty. But almost all pharaohs had their brains and intestines removed and placed in canisters, which were then sealed in the burial chamber along with their mummified (embalmed) corpses. Objects and tools the pharaohs had found useful in life were often sealed in these burial chambers, and sometimes, favored wives, servants, and pets were buried with the pharaoh, too.


What were the places where Egyptians put their Pharaohs after they died?

Most dead pharaohs were placed in tombs which were then sealed. There is very little evidence that they were buried in pyramids (which is a common miss-belief).


What do the Egyptians do with the pharaohs heart?

The heart of any mummified Egyptian, pharaoh or not, was sealed in a jar. All other internal organs were also sealed in jars, except for the brain which was considered unimportant. The jars containing the heart and other organs which would be needed in the afterlife were entombed along with the mummies of the deceased.


What happens after the mummification process is completed?

Usually in Egypt, after the body is mummified, they'd put it in a tomb ( a coffin with a figure of a person or a pharaoh at the front) and would store it in a pyramid. In the tomb, they would also put jewels and special things that the mummified person owned. Hope this helps :)


What time of day did the ancient Egyptians use the pyramids?

The Egyptians did not 'use' the pyramids. Each pyramid was a burial site for a great Pharoah or king. After the Pharoah's body was placed in his or her pyramid along with his servants, it was sealed up with huge stones so no one could get in.
