Coffin of Nesykhonsu, dynasty 21 "The ancient egyptians attached great importance to their names. They believed that desecration of a person's name, or removal of names from his/her monuments was destruction of the very existence and memory of that person. So long as the name was preserved and remembered the deceased was believed to be immortal." Source: anthropology outreach office, Smithsonian's national museume of natural history.
