Best Answer

Ancient Egyptians mummify important peoples bodies because they thought that the person will need their bodies for the afterlife. They thought without the body, that person's soul would have no where to go.

Where did they get the bandeges to mummifie people?

The bandages the Egyptians used to wrap the deceased were linen strips. They first wrapped the head and the neck, then the fingers and toes, which were individually wrapped. They wrapped the arms and legs next. Resin was used to glue the bandages together. After a Book of the Dead and amulets were put in the wrappings, the mummy was covered with a large cloth that was attached with linen strips. They then placed it in a sarcophagus.
