From the earliest periods of Egyptian history, all Egyptians were buried with at least some goods that they thought were necessary after death. At a minimum, these consisted of everyday objects such as bowls, combs, and other trinkets, along with food. The wealthier members of society and royalty of Egypt would bury gold and other luxuries such as chariots to travel in.<\/p>\n In Brazil this week, a wealthy businessman is preparing for the afterlife and has begun digging a hole in his back garden that will entomb his Bentley<\/a> Continental Flying Spur to ensure he has a luxurious and comfortable ride to ‘the other side’.
