After reading "The book of the dead" By Catherine Venable I realized that religion was a big part of the Egyptian 's. The Egyptian's believed in reincarnation and the after-life which is the belief that when someone dies they would be resurrected in another body and spirit/soul. They believe that this would keep happening and live forever because they believed death was a bad thing so they would try to bring back the person by praying and talking to the dead.
