why did the Egyptian's mummyify bodies a) they wanted to keep the dead near them b) they worshipped their dead ancestors c) they believed humans would need there bodys in the afterlife d) they believed mummies had magical powers

It is C i love ancient Egypt and i love everything about mummies! The Egyptians believed in an afterlife where after all the hard work, you would be able to be a divine person (ba) they thought they needed there bodies in order so be transferred into this divine state, so they mummified them and placed them in tombs or in a underground area

The answer would be C) They believed humans would need their bodies in the afterlife. Luckily I used to research Egyptian culture and all that stuff.
