                in egypt, a decreased person was not buried immediately. the preparations for a funeral took a long time, especially for the paraoh, the great nobles and the haves (wealthy class). it should be remembered that mummification, the decorated coffins, the painted and sculptured tombs belonged to the wealthy class. the poor people as the peasants, share-croppers and manual workers were buried in the sand with a few pots of food and drink beside them. sometimes, their bodies were thrown away either on the desert or into the river. it is, however, not certain, that the poor people did not have the right for a future life.
                 originally the funeral ceremonies belonged only to the paraoh. the great nobles did the same things when the religion underwent a kind of 'democratisation'. after that people began to bury the dead with the modifications due to their limited means. finally, every person could build tomb and bury the dead with the rites of orisis as long as the family could afford.
                  mummification was introduced when egypt began to worship the sun, use stones for large buildings, make pyramids for kings and great nobles. it is uncertain where those customs came from. they appeared suddenly with no gradual development. only after their first appearance, burial customs underwent development.
