Ancient Egyptian burials could include shabtis, or ushabtis: figures believed to perform afterlife labor for the deceased. Museum objects and inscriptions document this funerary practice. Not every burial across every period had an identical set of goods, and archaeological evidence of belief does not itself establish an afterlife’s existence.
