The two correct answers that are most directly the result of ancient Egyptian religious beliefs are:
-
Construction of the pyramids - The pyramids were built as monumental tombs for pharaohs, who were considered divine, and reflected the Egyptians' beliefs in the afterlife and the importance of honoring their gods through elaborate burial practices.
-
Preserving the bodies of the dead - The process of mummification and other methods of preserving bodies were closely linked to their religious beliefs about the afterlife, ensuring that the deceased could successfully navigate the afterlife and maintain their existence in the world beyond.
Thus, the correct responses are "construction of the pyramids" and "preserving the bodies of the dead."
