One of the most popular and well known rituals of the ancient egyptains during the 90 day long process of mumification is the opening of the mouth ritual. During this ritual a priest would take the dead person and open the mouth say spells and prayers over the person. Through the ritual, or ceramony, the dead person was thought to be able to use all of his senses in his/her tomb. This allowed the dead person to communicate with the living people and accept food and drink from the priests in order to sustain the ka, the spirit of the person. This ritual was common practiced much and is one of the most known ceramonies that the egyptians performed. It involved several instruments.
