Correct Answer: All of the above
So why is this answer correct? : Life didn’t stop at death for ancient Egyptians. According to their beliefs, objects placed in the tombs with the dead would be useful for their rich afterlives. A wide variety of items, including food, wine, vehicles, tools, even pets and servants, have been found in tombs of pharaohs.
The ivory, wood, or stone headrests buried with many Egyptians may not have been comfortable, but they served a practical purpose. The head was believed to hold the essence of life. Elevating it was a way of showing respect and was even thought to help keep demons away.
