Question

Which text explains why the ancient Egyptians made elaborate funeral arrangements?

Pyramid-building was an important part of ancient Egyptian society. The pharaohs built pyramids to function as their personal tombs. Ancient
Egyptians believed in life after death and were very careful about their burial arrangements. The Egyptians buried the dead with various objects
they thought would help the dead in their afterlife. Since pyramids were larger than traditional tombs, the kings could store vast amounts of
belongings and treasures that would ensure a comfortable afterlife.
The Step Pyramid at Saqqara was the first pyramid built. King Djoser appointed Imhotep to design and construct a burial complex that would
suit a king. The Great Pyramid of Giza is another example of a major Egyptian pyramid. This pyramid was made of over two million blocks of
limestone. Some of these blocks weighed up to 15 tons.

This text explains why the ancient Egyptians made elaborate funeral arrangements.

Step-by-step explanation:

“Pyramids” were built of only stone during the earliest “Egyptian” period. They believed in after life that was very similar to the living world.

They had an elaborate way to pay funeral to the dead body. They used to mummify the body, keep some goods along with the body thinking it would be useful for the body after life. They thought that spirit remains linked to the body even after death and they kept all important things in the grave to take care of the spirit, which included furniture, gold and even food.
