Read the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter."

From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs' tombs
were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids
served as giant grave markers; however, they also
served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These
wicked people would strip the tombs bare of all
valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a
large amount of money, Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient Egyptians, the act also
threatened the pharaoh's afterlife.

Based on the details in the excerpt, what conclusion can
be drawn about the pharaohs of ancient Egypt?

They went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs
would not be robbed

They had little worry about their tombs being invaded
by grave robbers

They thought that giant grave markers would protect
them against grave robbers

They placed more emphasis on their current lives
than on their afterlives
