Answer:
The Egyptians constituted an extremely religious society. This religiosity determined cultural and social practices among the Egyptians - one of them was the belief in immortality. For the Egyptians, death would be fleeting and life would return to the body, but the return to life would happen only if the body of the dying man was preserved.
If the soul (Ra) did not return to the body (Ka), it meant that the body had not been preserved. Hence the importance of body mummification, embalming and conservation in order to avoid decomposition. For this there were advanced techniques of mummification for the nobles and simpler techniques for the poor.
The advanced mummification techniques developed in ancient Egypt existed only because of the developed medicine. Egyptian doctors performed surgery, cared for fractures, knew the human anatomy. In addition to the technique of preserving bodies through mummification, the Egyptians needed to develop a method of protecting bodies from looters, hence the construction of huge tombs.
The graves would ensure the conservation of the bodies. Usually when a rich person (pharaoh), who boasted power, died, his body was mummified and later placed in the tombs that were considered a true dwelling. In them, Pharaoh and his riches were buried in a royal chamber and his servants (servants), scribes, priests, and animals in other simpler chambers.
The sacrifice of other people with Pharaoh's death was explained by the belief in immortality - the return to life would mean having other people to serve him (the servants) and continuing his wealth was critical to exercising power.

if your questions are waste then it should be deleted
hiiii
how are you
Without choices, we are pretty much left on our own. So I will give you what I think and you can take from that whatever you think right.
This painting is filled with interpretable figures. Begin with something easy. Father time begins on the top right and his hand extends over to the top left. The question is what does he represent so much as why is he there? My best guess is that he is suggesting that the two main figures will age, and although they are erotic and desirable now, they soon will not be.
There is a woman on the right whose face looks like a mask. It looks like she will wear one of the masks on the right. Which one will she pick: the red one for warmth or the light colored one which matches the cold lust of the two main figures? We don't know.
There is a young woman who is 1/2 snake with an upper body of someone quite beautiful. I know what she suggests to me, but I don't want to color your opinion. I am a church going person. Consider what I might think. Her face is very innocent, but her body suggests something sinister.
The only one looking on in joy is the young kid behind Venus. He's full of innocence and laughter. If you didn't know better, you would think he's out of place. You're free to say he is. But he is holding what looks like rose hips to me and he's about to throw them on Venus. He is the only thing in the painting that is taking pleasure in what is going on. Contrast him with the figure in the upper middle to left picture screaming. He I think represents the other side of the young kid.
It's a real mixed bag of interpretation. Is this part of a school project? I can't imagine it being so, but I've answered what you asked.
Parietal art, hope this helps!
