I have found out that only pharaohs or rich people would be buried in a coffin or as it was called in those times a sarcophagus. Sarcophagus’ where very colourful; there colour palette would include red, blue, white, violet and a beige type colour.
These colours would be put in different shapes to create a magnificent pattern that would cover the whole sarcophagus, only the rich or royalty would be blessed with such a colourful sarcophagus.
