MUMMIES of Egypt

Mummies!

First I will talk about mummy houses in Egypt pharaohs were worshipped as if they were gods themselves. When they passed by people would drop to the ground bend on their knees and kissed the ground. It’s a little wonder why some of the greatest tombs ever built to house mummies were created for pharaohs.

Why mummies the priests wanted to make Shure that the bodies looked the same in death as they did in life. Ancient Egyptians believed that the moment of death, 2 spirits that give the human being life ka and sole ba leave the body. But they re-enter it after mummification, so that the person can live again in the land of the death, they say it is very in portent for a sole to remember the body

Mummification as centuries passed it became much more elaborate taking 70 days to turn a body into a mummy most of the organs were removed before they are mummies except heart and kidneys   they touch out the brain from the nose with special equipment the workers are called a embalmers

Warping     when the salt was washed off , the body was rubbed with a mixture of oils wax and gum to stop crinkling in the skin tree resin was then put on the body to keep air away from skin than they are wrapped each finger and toe is wrapped sepretly
