The life after death
When a Pharaoh dies they make a whole pyramid for them, and make tomb out of it. Sometimes the Pharaohs servants and killed after the Pharaoh dies so they will be servants to the Pharaoh in the after life. The ancient Egyptians also put in the Pharaohs tomb all of his belongings, all the treasure, and everything he might own. Ancient Egyptians believe in life after death they put clothing and food and everything needed for a great life after someone passes away. These tombs have provided us the knowledge that we know today.
