Answer: Part 1: To maintain maat, the living had to constantly worship and make sacrifices to the gods to pacify the deities and spirits of the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians believed that if a person were properly prepared for the afterlife, his/her soul was immortal. Part 2: They have believed that the god of Re controlled the sun. They believed that Re had made this world that they lived on. Also, they would believe that he had made all life. For the rising and setting of the sun, they believed that the Re would rise in the morning and die when the sunset came. Part 3: Pyramids were built to bury pharaohs, they were large tombs that were made to hold lots of treasure so the pharaohs would be rich in the afterlife. While complicated, was not as colossal an undertaking as many of us believe, Redford says. Estimates suggest that between 20,000 and 30,000 laborers were needed to build the Great Pyramid at Giza in less than 23 years.
