How did ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife influence their art and architecture?

What will be an ideal response?

The ideal answer should include:
1. Egyptians built massive and monumental structures, such as the Giza pyramids, to house the bodies of deceased pharaohs.
2. Mummies and sculpted likenesses were created to preserve the life-force-the ka, or spirit-of the deceased so that they could live eternally in the afterlife and forever engage in everyday activities that they had once enjoyed in their earthly existence.
3. Elaborate paintings and reliefs often decorated the interiors of tombs of royalty and wealthy individuals.
4. These images often show the dead person performing the duties of everyday life and enjoying earthly pleasures.
