Mummies

This process started in circa 3100BC and then the Egyptians found the right "recipe" in circa 2613BC. This process started in circa 3100BC and then the Egyptians found the right "recipe" in circa 2613BC.

They were buried in all sorts of places like in Pyramids and under ground tombs like nower days. They were also put in wooden/gold/silver/etc coffins or had a death mask made if they were a Pharaoh... But the question is Were all Egyptians buried?

She was buried in the valley of the queens.

Mummies are under ground because they are ancient. The Egyptians also buried the mummies and by the time the dust buried it more and more. That's why archaeologists have to dig the ground to find artifacts.

They gave them an amulet, wraped them up, put there organs in organ jars, then precious items like for pharaohs gold, silver, other expensive items.

Six predynastic mummies, refered to as the Gebelein predynastic mummies, were recovered in the Egyptian desert in the late 19th century, and were dated to around 3,300 bc. These mummies were naturally mummified though. This was due to the heat and salt content of the sand. Egyptians began to bury their dead in coffins to protect them from scavengers, but realised that the bodies did not preserve like the bodies that were buried in the sandy soil without a coffin.

Egyptians then began to develop embalming processes to preserve the bodies. This is what we know today as mummification. This deliberate process probably began around the fourth and fifth dynasties, or around 2,600 bc. The practice of mummification in Egypt continued until well within the Roman era (30 bc - 364 ad). Some even suggest that mummification may have been practiced in Egypt up until as late as the 7th century ad. There were different processes used throughout this time, but the best preserved mummies are from the 18th to 20th dynasties (1570 bc - 1075 bc), which includes the mummy of Tutankhamen.

Strangely enough, it was not just humans who were mummified. Egyptians also mummified thousands of animals including cats, horses, and birds.

the people wrap up mummies are not really called anything in particular, the pharaohs and the Egyptians probably call them wrappers.

mummification was invented probably near the time of 12,000bc

Mummification, historically, was used first by the ancient Egyptians. These people did so because of the belief that the physical is tied to the spiritual, so a decayed corpse meant bad times in the afterlife.

Mummification is process that has been used by multiple cultures to preserve dead humans, and even animals, against decomposition. Archeological evidence suggests mummification dates back at least 5 millennia.

In Ancient Egypt, morticians or embalmers place beeswax in the nostrils of the mummies. This will prevent the liquids in the head from coming out and avoid rotting.

Yes but they don't mummify anymore.

Mummification is not still practiced in Egypt in the same manner that it was in the days of the Pharaohs, but bodies are still embalmed, which is a variant of mummification. Bear in mind that the religion of ancient Egypt (a religion currently known as Egyptian mythology) is not followed anymore, and Egypt has become a predominantly Muslim country instead. At the present time, burial customs in Egypt are quite similar to those of most other countries.

they depended on there immediate environment around them for survival. somewhat like the pre-empting your fate. the understanding of your world around you comes with time. they became more religious over a long period of time. the things in life that were not understood had to be explained to the common people. that's were your religion is important in letting you understand or at the very least feel more enlightened. for thousands of years egyptians used the forests to help build there empire. as the forest dwindled they went further into Sudan for wood that was brought down thru the river nile. that culture was not aware of the inpact it had on there environment. hence more destruction from nature and (god). case in point, after 9/11 the U.S. has shown a sharp rise in people attending there temple, church and so on. in times of disaster we look to god for answers. thanks be to god.

The term "canopic jars" refers to the mistaken association by early Egyptologists with the Greek legend of Canopus, the pirate of the ship of Menelaus of Sparta, who, according to legend, was bitten by a serpent when visiting the coasts of Egypt. His master then erected a monument to him at the mouth of the River Nile.

Hundreds of yards of linen were used to carefully wrap a mummy. As many as 20 alternating layers of bandages have been counted on one mummy. More linenstrips were wrapped around the body. At every layer, the bandages are painted.

Egyptians believed in something called the land of the dead. It was a place they would go and live after they died. But in order to go to the land of the dead their spirit must stay in their body and not be disturbed for over 50 years.

The type of metal was gold. They use that to cover there nails

a lot of stuff like trap doors and booby traps so that robbers couldn't rob all of the kings stuff

the egyptians put jewels, servants, dishes, pets. they put everything in the tomb they thought the Pharaoh would need in the afterlife.

No, Cleopatra's tomb has not been found. They were actively searching for it but had to put it on hold because of the troubles in Egypt. The latest news is that a group of amateur archaeologists are trying to get permission to carry on the work.

The Pharaohs in Ancient Egypt used big floating boats that looked like covered gondolas to "float" to the afterlife. They did not actually sail down the river to get to the afterlife though, they used the boat as a ritual purpose. After the boat sailed down the river then they would get to the pyramid where they would embalm him. Then finally they would bury him in a coffin that had all the things they would need in their afterlife.

osiris is the prince of the dead and the god of the underworld because he is a very interesting anciet god of Egypt

They remove the internal organs, then they prop up the bones with sticks. Rumour has it that they used chicken poo, though that isn't true.

The heart was not put into a canopic jar. The heart is needed in the afterlife.

# The body was taken to the "per-nefer", or house of mummification, where it was washed and placed on a board. The brain was removed, using an iron hook, which was introduced through the broken ethmoid bone (situated at the root of the nose). # The mouth was washed and packed with resin-soaked linen. The eyes were allowed to fall back into the orbits. Linen pads were then placed between the eyeballs and eyelids as false eyes # The lungs, liver, stomach and intestines were removed through an incision made in the left flank with a flint knife. The heart was left for religious reasons (to be weighed in the Hall of Judgement) and sometimes also the kidneys, probably because they were too difficult to reach. # The body cavities were washed with palm wine and spices, and temporarily packed with natron and resinated bandages. This probably assisted the dehydration process and helped to maintain the body's shape. # The viscera were washed with palm wine and spices, and dehydrated with natron. They were made into four parcels and placed into canopic jars with stoppers in the form of the four sons of Horus. In the 21st Dynasty the parcels were replaced in the abdominal cavity. # The body was straightened into the horizontal position, packed and covered with natron in its natural dry form and left for no longer than forty days. # The temporary stuffing was removed and the body was rubbed with wine. In the 21st Dynasty packing was inserted under the skin at this stage. # The body was anointed with cedar oil and unguents. New stuffing was placed inside and the incision was either sewn or covered in resin and a metal plate. The body was then wrapped in layers of amulets inserted for protection and returned to the family for the burial process

They dig up the mummy. Then they dust the mummy.Then they try and determine if its a male or female and how old they were when they died.
