Answer: Egyptians believed that charms protect people in the afterlife

Explanation: The Book of the Dead is a collection of spells that, according to the Egyptian belief, help the deceased on his way through the underworld to eternal life, light. The content of the book, that is, the collection of charms and magic spells, presents the funeral texts that were painted earlier in the coffins and on the pyramids, that is, in the tombs. After collecting these funeral texts, a book of the dead was made, which when buried, would be put together with the deceased in a coffin.
