FAQs
- Some historians say that the answer goes back to Ancient Egyptian religion and their belief in an afterlife. Because they believed in life after death, the bodies of important Ancient Egyptians were frequently mummified and placed into tombs. Mummification was a process that preserved the body, with the idea that the deceased person could use it again in the afterlife. The early tombs of Ancient Egypt were rectangular brick structures with an underground chamber. Bodies of royalty and important officials were placed in a coffin called a sarcophagus, and then the sarcophagus was placed into the underground chamber. Above ground, there was a separate chamber for holding food and drink for use by the deceased person in the afterlife. This chamber was also used to make offerings to their gods. During the Old Kingdom of Egypt's history, about 4,500 years ago, there was a limited time when the pharaohs' tombs were built in the shape of large pyramids, such as the ones seen in Giza .
