the desert was dry and hot
they made blocks of mud and laid them in the sun to dry
The arid conditions of the desert create a dry environment that inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi, preserving Egyptian mummies over millennia. In contrast, the high humidity of tropical rainforests fosters decay, leading to the rapid decomposition of organic materials. Consequently, while many Egyptian mummies remain intact, few Aztec mummies have survived due to the unfavorable conditions for preservation in their environment.
Answer no or yes.
Natron, is was a type of salt used to dry out the body.
The dry desert heat worked to keep the Pharaohs's body and his belongings from decomposing and rotting away.
The dry desert climate helped preserve the pyramids by preventing erosion and degradation of the stone structures. The lack of humidity also helped prevent mold and decay from damaging the ancient structures. Additionally, the stability of the arid environment helped maintain the structural integrity of the pyramids over time.
No, if anything it made the clay/mud/dirt dryer and harder to shape. Not to mention harder to carry (though it DID help with the drying process).
The sand and climate of the desert contribute to the preservation of pyramids by creating a dry environment that minimizes erosion and decay. The arid conditions reduce moisture levels, which helps protect the stone structures from water damage and biological growth. Additionally, the fine sand can act as a natural barrier, shielding the pyramids from wind erosion and other environmental factors. This combination of factors has allowed many ancient pyramids to endure for thousands of years.
The farmers during the dry season when there was no work on their farms, and they worked for the Pharaoh, provided for from the state granaries, as a form of dole.
Of course it is a dry desert. There is no such thing as a wet desert. A desert is defined by its lack of rainfall.
Parts of the tundra can be nearly as dry as a desert.
It protects them by not having attacks because of the hot sand.
Yes, it is. The driest desert is the Sahara, but every desert is dry.
In the winter, the desert can be extremely cold and dry.
Both the Antarctic Desert and the Atacama Desert are exceedingly dry and receive virtually no precipitation.
