Mummification
In Ancient Egypt, there was a procedure called mummification. This procedure was for ancient Egyptians and pharaohs. Mummification has a lot of various steps. I will tell you these steps in the next three to four paragraphs.
Ancient Egypt kept this procedure up and running for about three thousand years. The procedure could take up to seventy days in total. From what I have researched, there are seven steps in total. Each Egyptian that went through mummification always got put into a tomb. After that, the tomb was into a pyramid that the Egyptians made.
To be specific, the first step is to purify and wash the body. The second step is to remove all the internal organs and to leave the heart where it was. Next they filled the body with a kind of stuffing to make the body look normal and full. Then the Egyptians dry the body out so they could put in a kind of substance called natron. After about 40-50 days they remove, they remove the stuffing and replace it with linen or sawdust. Right after that, the bodies were wrapped in layers of linen. Finally, they finish the mummy and put it in a large wooden container called a sarcophagus.
The Egyptians would put the mummy's internal organs into a container that would be put in the burial tomb with the body. They would also remove the mummy's brain because they thought that the mummy wouldn't need it. The Egyptians believed that the mummy only needed its heart to pass through to the afterlife. The tombs were often decorated by painting it gold. They also decorated the tomb by putting amulets and gems and gems on it!
Over the years, people have still uncovered hair and skin from the mummies. The Ancient Egyptians had some very interesting procedures. We hope you learned about ancient Egypt and this topic. If you want to learn more about Egypt, click the pages above!
