The ancient Egyptians went to great lengths to preserve the dead because they believed in an afterlife where the deceased would need their physical bodies. They thought that preserving the body through mummification would ensure the soul's survival and enable it to reunite with the body in the afterlife. This belief was deeply intertwined with their religious practices and the idea of immortality, prompting elaborate burial rituals and the construction of monumental tombs. Therefore, the preservation of the dead was essential for ensuring a successful passage to the next life.
The main reason for mummification was to preserve the body of the dead person usually the pharohs would be mummified to a high standard to help them in their journey into the afterlife. Cool.

In Egypt, dead monarchs were mummified to preserve their bodies. Many Egyptians believed that for someone to pass over to the next life, they needed to have a body to go back to. As for other civilizations I am not sure.
Well, first the Egyptian people beleived that mummifying the dead person would preserve them for the afterlife. Also, anything that they put in with the dead person would supposedly go with them to the afterlife too. Too bad most of the mummies got stolen and robbed huh?

Well, the word preserve can mean a few things. In general it means to keep something for a long period of time. A preserve can be like an Animal Preserve... a place where animals can go to be safe from hunters, and where people are trying to protect (preserve) them. If your grandmother makes preserves, that is usually jam or jelly that is made from fruit (making fruit into preserves is a way of keeping the fruit preserved... so it won't go bad).
