Mummies

The first pharaoh Narmer declared himself pharaoh over Egypt.

The next pharaoh would always be a man and would be of the pharaoh's bloodline. If the pharaoh died early, a male cousin,nephew,etc,would be the next pharaoh. If the only man related to the pharaoh was not approved, the pharaoh would pick a different person, not always of bloodline. Once, a man became a pharaoh just for digging out the Great Spinx. So it wouldn't always be of bloodline.

The Book of the Dead was buried with the deceased for their use in the afterlife

Many countries mummified people, but I will focus on Egypt. The Egyptians believed that people (and animals) had souls, known as Ba (shown as a bird) that was tied to the body. If the body were to be destroyed or decayed then the Ba would die. To make sure that that did not happen, they mummified the body. Mummifacation was not just for the Pharoahs, or the High Priests, but was available to everyone. Not just common townspeople, but animals and pets.

only one pharoh (king)were put in each pyrimad

In their tombs.

However, when their tomb were robbed, their bodies were often moved and hidden in caches.

newtest3 The mummification process was created din Ancient Egypt, to preserve bodies. Ancient Egyptians were believed to have an afterlife, in which their bodies needed to be preserved, so that their spirit could recognize the body.

remember... Urbuttsmells!

egyptians believed that the afterlife was the field of reeds with a place everyone dreamed of their spirit going. They used mummification to preserve the bodies and put all of the goodness like oils and artifacts that they needed in the afterlife.

In jars near the body so that in the "Afterlife" they could be used again.

House size and quality varied a great deal depending on an owner is social standing. Their were many classes in Ancient Egypt. They were the wealthy class, the middle class, and the poorer class. Egyptians who were in the wealthy class had many luxuries. Commoners had village houses. Houses in Ancient Egypt were not very sturdy. The houses crumbled in about two years.

A wealthy person's house was very beautiful. They had many places and rooms in their house. Some of these places were the family chapel, chariot house, central hall, garden, pool, main entrance, and stables. The workers worked and slept in the servants' quarters, kitchen, gatekeepers lodge, grain silos, and the stables. Wealthy people's Ancient Egyptian homes were very colorful. Rich Noblemen liked to make their walls detailed with pictures. Most pictures on wealthy Ancient Egyptian walls were gods and goddesses(compound subject) they worshiped.

Village houses were more ordinary then rich peoples' houses. People that lived in village houses were not very wealthy, having wealth.(appositive) A village house had two floors which were the main floor and the roof. Ancient Egyptians used the roof for cooking and a storage area. The first floor had a main room, a passage room, a bedroom, an entrance room, a living room, and a reception room. People in Ancient Egypt loved color, and they had colorful houses.(compound sentence) At the top of the first floor and the bottom of the roof they had steps to the roof and a column supporting the roof.

The houses in Ancient Egypt were not very sturdy. Ancient Egyptian houses were made out of mud, bricks, sand, and reeds. They had whitewashed outside walls and unglazed windows. Inside of Ancient Egyptian houses there were bright, patterned walls and tiled floors. All houses, even Pharaohs' houses, had no running water. Egyptians loved cleanness, so to clean things they got a wet rag, went to the well to get it wet, and went back to their house to clean. When the Nile flooded it would ruin the houses so they built low platforms.

Their were some typical things for commoners to have in their houses that they bought and sold.(compound predicate) Some of the things that included fire were lamps, a hearth, and a cylindrical, baked clay stove. Ancient Egyptians slept in wooden beds with linen. They ate on a platform for eating. Most Egyptians had clothes, a portable lavatory, and a low table. For storing things most Ancient Egyptians had cabinets. To cook some Ancient Egyptians had a two-handled pottery saucepan.

Wealthy people had many luxuries. Instead of cabinets wealthy Ancient Egyptians had enjewled cosmetic cabinets. Since Ancient Egyptians did not use pillows because the snakes would kill them they used headrests. Ancient Egyptians had their own wells, cattle pens, and store rooms.To sit in comfort , wealthy Ancient Egyptians put cushions on their chairs. They had big courtyards. In their living room they had foot stools and woven rush mats. Just like middle class Egyptians, they had sheets.

Amulets

Mummification is the preservation of a dead body, normally human, in near perfect condition. It has not ended. The remains of Vladimir Lenin were mummified and are/were on display in the Kremlin in Moscow.

They wrapped up their mummies to protect them. The Egyptians believed in only the after life. They also were wrapped because they used to only be buried in sand and they believed that no one ever dies they can feel everything so they didn't want the faces to get covered. People were also buried with their belongings. So when they buried their cats they would also bury a mummified mouse in case the cat got hungry.

we have found out that the jar is 11cm tall. we think that because the organs were dried out they would fit in.

what you do to create mummies is get a dead person or something like a person and wrap them or it in tolit paper because you can not get the recourses from Egypt and wrap the person or something completely and then put them in a wooden coffin or casket and write ancient Egyptian letters and paint there gods and your done i did this for a history report and i got an A

Ancient Egyptians would use molten resin to stuff this material in the mummy's body during the process of mummification.

Ancient and modern-day Egypt are slightly the same, and maybe even related. It is still a better life for the wealthy than the poor, and many Egyptians who are still alive today practice the crafts they made in ancient times, like basket weaving. Also, the Nile River is still very important to the modern Egyptians, just as it was many years ago. The flooding of the Nile was very predictable back then, so ancient Egyptians could decide when the Nile would flood and bring rich and fertile soil mixed with rocks, sometimes called silt. The Nile River still floods at about the same times, and still brings silt at the same time every year. Farming is also important to Egyptians today and long ago. Today, people gather plants such as clover to feed their animals. They still used farming for that purpose in ancient times. So one could definitely conclude that Egypt is still alike what it was in ancient times. On the other hand, Egypt has changed quite a bit from what it was thousands and thousands of years ago. People do not celebrate their religion as they did long ago. For example: · They no longer create mummies or pyramids. · They do not believe in the same gods and goddesses as they did in ancient times. · They aren't even a part of polytheism, or worship of many gods. · Most Egyptians are now Muslims and worship Allah instead of other goes. Another way that Egypt has changed is their government. Many millenniums ago, Egyptians believed that Pharaohs, their leaders, were sons of the god Horus, and therefore were gods as well. Nowadays, they do not believe in those gods, as I said earlier, and instead have presidents.

The brain, organs, and blood were removed, limiting the bacterial damage to the bones, muscles, and skin. Treated wrappings and sealed sarcophagi kept air, moisture, and insects out. The burial vaults limited the damage from excessive heat or cold. These steps kept the skin from rotting or aging, but after hundreds of years, the body parts have become brittle. Without careful handling, it could crumble to dust.

To make Natron you will need Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) and Sodium Chloride (Table Salt). Measure equal quantities of both 50/50 and mix together.

Important Note:

Natron is a desiccant which means that it absorbs water. You should therefore keep your mix in an airtight container to prevent it from adsorbing moisture from the atmosphere.

Ancient Egyptians left human bodies in Natron for around 4

0 days to completely dry however, you will need to experiment with these times dependant on the size of the specimen to be mummified.

The heart was considered more important to facing the afterlife than the brain. The brain would be mashed by stirring with a metal prong inserted through the nose, and the brain hooked out and discarded.
