The Egyptians believed in an afterlife in a different world, but one similar in many respects. They felt that the body must be preserved for an afterlife to occur. The Egyptians mummified all bodies because they wanted all Egyptians to have a happy afterlife or life after death. Most people think that they only mummified the pharaohs but that is not the case. They just left better presents than for the non-pharaohs or peasants. They also put only the Pharaohs in elaborate tombs such as the Pyramids. They put non-pharaohs or peasants in regular casket-like containers.
