Egyptians’ conviction in immortality affected the ancient their disposition towards death. Death was perceived as a brief disruption rather than just the end of life. Humans paid respect to the gods both before and after their lives on earth to maintain life quality after death.
In ancient Egypt, the idea of death was taken very seriously, and people prepared for it by purchasing coffins and designing tombs that were even more extravagant than the houses they resided in while alive. The Egyptians believed that there was life after death, perceived as the afterlife, in which their souls would need nourishment. To join the spiritual world, an individual ought to have planned themselves properly in advance of death. Among the arrangements was the procurement of burials pieces that shielded them and offered warmth or sustenance to their souls throughout their voyage into the afterlife. Caskets, food, jewellery, amulets, the deceased’s book, and other objects were among them. Caskets are considered to be protective of the spiritual bodies of the dead in the afterlife.
To shield them from demonic spirits, they were also prayed for and decorated with charms and holy symbols. The caskets were crafted by artisans who later began constructing and decorating caskets in people out of wood or stones. Artisans were very influential people in the community as a result of their trade. Toombs were also constructed years before an individual’s death and served as permanent burial places for the deceased. The tombs of the Pharaohs are still tourist sites in Egypt. They were traditionally built on the Nile’s western bank, regarded as the Land of the Dead (Romano). Master builders carefully prepared and oversaw the development of tombs.
