Tombs, particularly those of ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, often contained a variety of precious jewels, including gold, silver, and gemstones such as lapis lazuli, turquoise, and carnelian. These jewels symbolized wealth and power and were believed to offer protection and favor in the afterlife. In addition to personal adornments, jewelry was sometimes placed with the deceased to accompany them in their journey beyond death. Other cultures, like the Maya and the Chinese, also buried significant treasures with their rulers and elites to honor them and ensure their status in the afterlife.
