Best Answer

Because they didn't have embalming techniques. They would put perfume and spices on the body to hold down the smell.

Why was this important? Because they frequently used caves and would have several bodies in them, and most were family caves. It could be that another family member could die before the body had decayed enough where there would be no stench.
