THE AFTER LIFE

The Egyptians believed in another life called the afterlife. They believed in life after death. They had to build pyramids as part of the burial preparation.

Before a body could be placed in a tomb or pyramid, it had to be ready for the afterlife. Egyptians believed that if their was no body, the spirit couldn't enjoy the things that the afterlife would offer. If the body were to decay, the spirit would die. The Egyptians created a process called embalming. Embalming would protect the body from decay. The embalming turned the body into a mummy.

After the mummy was finished, they would put the mummy in a tomb with their personal belongings they needed in the afterlife. They put the personal belongings which they used in their daily life. Clothes,games, and mirrors are some examples of their personal belongings. In conclusion, they loved life because they believed that the afterlife would be like the life they had.
