Default Mummies

Hello everyone,

I am a college student who is looking for some opinions on a couple of questions.

First - Why do you think some Egyptian tombs had more complex designs than others had?

Second- Why do you think the Egyptians followed such stict rules when they were mummifing someone?

I am doing this for my Art History class and I will post the link to which I am looking at.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I started putting together a reply the other day, but I don't have any special insights. If these questions were originally for you to think about, then a little pondering will bring up the same ideas I would have suggested. If you're really supposed to be polling non-experts on Egyptian burial customs, I don't really see the point.
