what happenedto the mummified body after the completion of the funerary rites
After the completion of the funerary rites in ancient Egypt, the mummified body was placed inside a coffin or sarcophagus. The burial process varied depending on the individual's social status, but generally, the mummy was taken to a tomb or burial chamber, which could be located in a cemetery or within a pyramid for royalty.
The tomb was often filled with various items, furniture, and offerings that would be used by the deceased in the afterlife. It was believed that the soul of the deceased would continue to have needs, so food, drink, and other personal belongings were provided to ensure their comfort in the afterlife. Egyptians also believed that the preserved body played a crucial role in the deceased's journey to the afterlife.
In addition to placing the mummy within the tomb, ancient Egyptians performed burial rituals and ceremonies. These ceremonies included prayers, offerings, and the performance of specific spells or rites to protect the deceased and aid their journey into the afterlife.
Once the funerary rites and burial were completed, the tomb would be sealed, and the mummified body would remain in its final resting place, meant to be undisturbed for eternity.
