the deceased’s religious beliefs

Pharaohs’ tombs (pyramids, tomb chambers, burial goods, and funerary texts like Pyramid Texts and Book of the Dead) are full of material made to secure and guide the king in the afterlife — spells, offerings, ritual objects, depictions of gods, and scenes of the journey after death — so they most clearly reveal ancient Egyptian ideas about death and the afterlife.
