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.
