Why did the Egyptians have so much
"stuff" in their tombs?

A tomb is a place in which you are buried when you die. The ancient Egyptians believed that life did not stop when you died. Rather, death was more like a temporary stop on your way to another place, a place they called the afterlife. ... When a pharaoh died in ancient Egypt, the pharaoh was buried in a royal tomb. Extravagant jewelry of gold, lapis lazuli, and carnelian, cups of gold and silver, bowls of alabaster, and extraordinary objects of art and culture were found in royal tombs.
