Egyptians worship the sun God, Osiris and they believed that they needed to be buried showing a sign of devotion to Osiris. Not only were their arms crossed but often their legs would be crossed as well. The X is believed to be the sign of Osiris and was used as a symbol throughout tombs on the walls showing respect.
