Answer: Egyptians believed tombs would be the safest place in the kingdom and they also believed the dead enjoyed the materials in the afterlife

Explanation: Egyptians believed they would go to the afterlife but their body had to be preserved in order to go into the afterlife so with riches in the tomb they would go to the afterlife with all of the riches and would be in the afterlife rich like they were when they were alive
