After death, Egyptian pharaohs were often buried in pyramids or “giant” tombs. Inside the king’s eternal resting place are countless valuable treasures such as gold, silver, jewels, daily necessities such as chairs, chariots, etc.
The pyramids or tombs of Egyptian pharaohs are considered to be the place to store the huge treasures buried with the late king.
Because of this, the Egyptian king’s eternal resting place became a prime target for tomb robbers.
In fact, after an Egyptian king died, the pharaoh’s body was mummified before being buried in a pyramid or tomb.
Egyptian pharaohs were buried with thousands of extremely valuable items so they could continue their royal life in the afterlife.
The treasures in the ancient tombs of Egyptian kings often included hundreds of kilograms of gold, silver, and jewels.
Many of the pharaoh’s daily objects were also placed in the tomb such as: throne, golden sarcophagus, gilded lion bed, wardrobe, chariot…
Hundreds of statues, ancient vases, and precious jewelry were also buried with the late king.
Among these were statues of deceased pharaohs and gods revered by the Egyptians.
Ancient Egyptians even mummified the king’s pets so that they could continue to serve the pharaoh in the afterlife.
Accordingly, the pharaoh’s burial place holds huge treasures that people long to find to learn about the lives of ancient people.
