they believed that death was an exact replica of their normal life but the also believed that the afterlife would be much better. however, everyone was obliged to an afterlife no matter if they were rich or poor. however, the rich, such as the pharaoh's received a much better burial because they had money but they also had to earn a good afterlife through doing good deeds (pharaoh's). therefore, to assure that they had a good afterlife, they were buried with symbolic objects such as pots and jewellery etc. so they could have those things with them in the afterlife if they needed them. however, prior to the burial, they would go through a long process of preserving the body. on the other hand, they also believed in the ba and the ka. the Body was the dwelling place of the ba. the ba could fly in and out of the body. the ba is most commonly known as the spirit or soul of the human body. they also believed in the ka which was like a double or a shadow. the ka met the dead person at the gates of the next world and introduced them to the gods. when they reached the gates, they were judged by Osiris and their heart was weighed against a feather to determine if they were pure or not. if the heart was lighter or equal to the weight of the feather, that meant that they were pure whereas, if the heart was heavier than the feather they were not allowed into the underworld. overall, the burial of the body indirectly shows that there was a hierarchy within ancient Egypt because it showed the amount of wealth that each person/family had.
