Why did the egyptians mummyfiy bodys

Why did the ancient Egyptians mummify their dead? The ancient Egyptians believed that when someone died, their soul left their body. The soul would then return and be reunited with the body after it was buried. However, the soul needed to be able to find and recognise the body in order to live forever.
