The preserved body was essential to the afterlife. The Ancient Egyptians believed that Life continued after they died and it was vital to have a body-in perfect condition- to continue living. Death was only the beginning for them. The Pharaohs spent their entire lives preparing for the next, hence their elaborate burials... Clearly, the thought they could take it all with them.
