Question
In Black Panther, there was a ceremony where...
the new king was buried
What was the purpose of the ceremony?
Answer
The purpose of the ceremonial burial is to travel to the "Ancestral Plane" so that the new king may consult with his ancestors.
In both cases, Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and T'Challa, the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), meet and speak with their fathers, N'Jobu (Sterling K. Brown) and King T'Chaka (John Kani). In Black Panther's travel, his father transforms from a black panther, and there are other ancestors present.The presence of the black panthers harkens to the origin story of Wakanda at the beginning of the film.
A third burial travel occurs when Black Panther is buried in snow. During that vision, he confronts his father about the murder of his uncle, Killmonger's father.
