Solution
The correct option is B Mummy
In Ancient Egypt, during the times of the Pharaohs,
preserved and embalmed dead body inside the tomb known as mummy. The Ancient
Egyptians believed that every person was thought to have three souls - the Ka,
the Ba and the Akh. These three elements of the soul, were believed to be
perishable and therefore at great risk. The Ancient Egyptians believed that
inside the tomb of mummy, the process of mummification and the rituals and
magic spells which surrounded it would ensure the preservation of the Ka, Ba and
Ahk of the King Tut. The objective of mummification was therefore carried out
to keep the soul alive and ensure a clear path to the Afterlife.
