How did people prepare for the afterlife before they were dead in Ancient Egypt?

Answer 1

The deceased body had internal organs removed and was then embalmed, to ensure against decay. Depending on status, it was buried with ornaments, weapons, food and servants, to allow the deceased to continue in the next life. In the old kingdom, the kings were entombed in massive pyramids, but in later periods were buried in caves in the Valley of the Kings.

Answer 2

To preserve the dead bodies, the priests removed and stored most of the insides in jars, treated the bodies with chemicals, and wrapped the bodies into air tight linen bandages.

Answer 3

It was believed that people needed their earthly bodies and possessions to effectively move into the afterlife, so all internal organs were preserved in special jars and containers. Interestingly enough, it was assumed that the heart was the house of the soul and therefore held in high esteem. The brain, known now as the central computer for the body, was dug out through the nose and discarded and viewed as worthless. The body was then mummified and buried in a tomb with the deceased possessions. The worst thing to happen would be for the body to be discarded in the sand, making the soul lost forever. Ironically, the sand over time proved an excellent preserver because of the high salt content of the ground.
