Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife which required perfect preservation of the body. Any bodily imperfection would carry into the afterlife. As a result, Egyptians had to be taken care of relatively expeditiously. They also could not be dumped into the Nile or cremated since both processes would ravage the physical body as well.

Elaborate tombs, filled with treasures and offerings, were seen as necessary for the Pharaoh's journey and to sustain them in the next world.
