Why were tombs so important to pharohs everyday egtyptians

The bigger the tomb the wealthier you were the smaller the not so wealthy

Tombs have always been considered the homes of the dead and every tomb ever constructed was built with this concept in mind. The tomb is the final resting place of a dead person whose soul, however, would live on in another realm. Personal artifacts or pets were often interred with the deceased because it was thought they would be needed in the afterlife. The construction of a tomb would also reflect the status of the person buried there and the beliefs of a certain culture concerning the afterlife. Ancient cultures from Mesopotamia to Rome maintained that the dead lived on after life and ancient stories concerning ghosts have to do with the improper burial of the dead. That is why tombs were so important to Egyptians.
