While it is true that the preservation could just be a byproduct of some very specific rituals, these rituals are still laid out to act the exact same as preservation. Could it not just be that it’s both?

I thought it was supposed to preserve the body for the afterlife? That’s what I was taught in school so this isn’t a 180 to me.

That wasn’t my point, my point was that the body was being preserved so it wouldn’t decay when going to the afterlife
