The Ancient Egyptians mummified the bodies of the dead in order to ensure their immortality in the afterlife.

Death was not the end of life but rather a short interruption; eternal life could be obtained by preserving and protecting the physical body, the 'ka,' the 'ba,' and the 'akh.' All Egyptians were buried with goods for the afterlife, including statues, food, and worldly possessions; wealthy Egyptians were buried with many luxury goods.
