What is the purpose for King Tut's Death Mask?

Question

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

The funerary masks, used to cover the face of a mummy and other facial coverings for mummies emphasized the ancient Egyptian belief in the fragile state of transition that the dead would have to successfully transcend in their physical and spiritual journey from this world to their divine transformation in the next. Hence, whether worn by the living or the dead, masks played a similar role of magically transforming an individual from a mortal to a divine state.

Not only the dead wore these masks, even living persons in ancient Egypt might have employed transformational spells to assume nonhuman forms. Specifically, masked priests, priestesses or magicians, disguising themselves as divine beings such as Anubis or Beset, almost assuredly assumed such identities to exert the powers associated with those deities.

Answer 2

When they thought it was for the afterlife,the Egyptians believed they would serve in the royal court in the underworld with Osiris.He would still have the royal headdress that he had in life,in death.

Answer 3

It's part of ancient Egyptian funerary traditions;the death mask shows the young king in the guise of the God Osiris,an important personage in Egyptian mythology,a god of life,death and immortality. Putting the pharaoh in the guise of this god is part of the ceremony that leads the dead king into the afterlife.
