How do you become a mummy?
Well, to be a mummy, you should have died approximately 3300 BC.So the steps of the mummification process was...1. Embalming...First, his body is taken to the tent known as 'ibu' or the 'place of purification'. There the embalmers wash his body with good-smelling palm wine and rinse it with water from the Nile.One of the embalmer's men makes a cut in the left side of the body and removes many of the internal organs. It is important to remove these because they are the first part of the body to decompose. The liver, lungs, stomach and intestines are washed and packed in natron which will dry them out. The heart is not taken out of the body because it is the centre of intelligence and feeling and the man will need it in the afterlife. A long hook is used to smash the brain and pull it out through the nose.The body is now covered and stuffed with natron which will dry it out. All of the fluids, and rags from the embalming process will be saved and buried along with the body.After forty days the body is washed again with water from the Nile. Then it is covered with oils to help the skin stay elastic.The dehydrated internal organs are wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body is stuffed with dry materials such as sawdust, leaves and linen so that it looks lifelike. Finally the body is covered again with good-smelling oils. It is now ready to be wrapped in linen.2. Wrapping the mummyFirst the head and neck are wrapped with strips of fine linen. Then the fingers and the toes are individually wrapped.The arms and legs are wrapped separately. Between the layers of wrapping, the embalmers place amulets to protect the body in its journey through the underworld.A priest reads spells out loud while the mummy is being wrapped. These spells will help ward off evil spirits and help the deceased make the journey to the afterlife.The arms and legs are tied together. A papyrus scroll with spells from the Book of the Dead is placed between the wrapped hands.More linen strips are wrapped around the body. At every layer, the bandages are painted with liquid resin that helps to glue the bandages together.A cloth is wrapped around the body and a picture of the god Osiris is painted on its surface.Finally, a large cloth is wrapped around the entire mummy. It is attached with strips of linen that run from the top to the bottom of the mummy, and around its middle. A board of painted wood is placed on top of the mummy before the mummy is lowered into its coffin. The first coffin is then put inside a second coffin.The funeral is held for the deceased and his family mourns his death.That is the Mummification process
What is the German Boser family crest?
You will have to research your family history to find the crest for your particular family, if there is one. Beware of the multitude of family crest websites available. They do little research and chances are that you will get a coat of arms that is completely made up or false. If you are in a hurry, do an internet search for "Boser coat of arms." At least five different coats of arms will be found. That suggests that at least five families had rights to arms, or that several people have fanciful ideas of what should be a coat of arms for this family.
