Burial customs
Ancient Egyptians believed that when a person died that is not the end but instead they will be revived in another world, they called this the afterlife but for that person to work and ‘live’ he need his body so the ancient Egyptians preserved the body and the priest did the job of mummification or preservation. The process started with a spike being pushed into the nostril and hammered, then pulled out with a hook then tree risen was poured into the empty skull cavity to keep to prevent decomposition, then they took out the lungs and abdominal organs first because heart was believed the place where the knowledge, emotions and were the soul can stay in the afterlife (so they took special care with it) and it needed to stay in the body. Then they quickly took out the liver, stomach and contestants because they contained digestive enzymes and bacteria that when the person died they started eating the corps form the insides, then they placed all of the internal and abdominal organs into Canopic Jars that were filled with neutron because neutron prevented decay by killing bacteria and preventing the body’s natural digestive enzymes to work. After the priest’s filled the empty body cavity with sacks of neutron (so that the inside flesh could be preserved), then the sacks were removed and the body was clean thoroughly to disinfect the body then the body was placed in a bed/coffin that was filled with neutron than left there for 35 days. After the 35 days the body was brown and had clumps in the flesh because the neutron had sucked all of the fluid out of the inside of the body, then the body was perfumed and massage (because the whole body did not smell or look that pleasant. Then the priest’s poured tree resin over the body then bandage then poured and bandage and smell books and protection ornaments and jewels were covered to protect he body then a face mask was placed over the head the whole body was put in a sarcophagus. Before the pharaoh died he had built his own tomb and put all his gold, silver, meal, weapons, shabti (they were servants that made into wooden dolls to serve the Pharaoh in the ‘afterlife’), clothing, family (if they had a family and the family was mummified), precious minerals and semi-precious stones, spells for protection and curse that were carved on the walls, expensive lien, perfume and other personal items that belong to that person. then the sarcophagus was placed in there and left.
