Kings Level NThe Next LifePeople in ancient Egypt believed a tomb was as important as the palace where the king lived.The tomb protected the dead kings body,which they believed returned to life after

elephants!8Pictures of the Sun god,Ra,are on the walls of many of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.To reach the next life,the people of Egypt believed spirits had to follow the travels of Ra(RAH),the Sun god,through the night.They covered tomb walls with pictures and writing to help the soul on its journey.7Howard Carter removes a covering of Tutankhamens coffin.Valley of the Kings
