What do you put in a sarcophagus?

A sarcophagus typically contains the body of an individual, often an important figure such as a pharaoh or noble person. Along with the body, it may include various grave goods, such as jewelry, pottery, food, and personal items intended to accompany the deceased in the afterlife. In some cultures, texts or scrolls with prayers and spells for protection and guidance in the afterlife are also included. The sarcophagus itself is often elaborately decorated to reflect the status and beliefs of the deceased.
