The Ancient Egyptians did not leave the internal organs inside the body for use in the afterlife, but instead put them in special containers. However, in Ancient Egypt the wealthy did have more lavish resting places than the poor, pyramids did contain treasures such as artwork and informational records, and originally Egyptians did not mummify their dead.
