Mummies

all people who were important enough to be mummified were most likely going to be put in a tomb so their afterlife goes well, and their ka and ba find the body again so i would say yes.

Most times there was a whole they dug and just filled it up then started a new one

1. Take the brain out and throw it away.

2. Make an incision take out the intestines, lungs, kidney, liver and put them in canopic jars.

3. Drain the blood and fill the dead body with natron salt or sawdust.

4. Leave the body for 40-50 days.

5. Take the natron salt or sawdust out of the body.

8. Coat the body in linen.

9. Put amulets on the dead body.

10. Coat the body in linen again

Most Egyptians live in EGYPT.

I'm Egyptian, we live in apartments villas palaces we have worldwide hotels spas and golf courts we have worldwide companies we have i pods i phone and blackberries , we have all the brand names in Egypt we don't mummfy people now we don't live in tents we don't go to school on camels we have cars like all the other countries some have ferraris we have airports we have very good schools ,alot like to learn alot of languages, international and private schools teach English french and German from kindergarten, we're not a bunch of ignorant people we know the cultures of all the other countries we're very civilised and we're all seeking to make Egypt a better place we have alot of beautiful sceneries like the nile ,luxor and aswan ,sharm el sheikh ,hurghada , dahab ,the pyramids ,Alexandria ,old cairo, khan el khalili and korba. egyptians are very friendly we treat our visitors from all over the world very generously :)

If a teacher is asking this question, they are looking for a geographic type answer like most Egyptians live close to the Nile River. The Nile Valley is only one mile wide at some points, and it is just 12 miles across at its widest. So almost all Egyptians live on less than 5 percent of the nation's land.

The main reason for mummification was to preserve the body of the dead person usually the pharohs would be mummified to a high standard to help them in their journey into the afterlife. Cool.

The body needed to be able to reach the place of the God in heaven, to be as near actual life as possible, and to enter that heaven for the greater life. Some had chariots in the burial chamber with them, presumably to ride in the chariots once they enter heaven, or perhaps to use the chariots to get to that heaven.

they left the heart in so they could be judged.

embalemers

Yes it was in the late 196o's by W.B. Emery at North Saqqara, tomb 3518.B (as there is also a 5th Dynasty tomb with the same number at Saqqara North cemetery). The discovert is only described Emery's preliminary reports, published in the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology as Emery died in 1971 before he could write a final report.

The bodies of pharaohs and other ancient egyptians that could afford to be mummified. And the bodies were wrapped in linen with leaves, and sawdust inside the body to replace the internal organs.

Another Answer: A mummy is a human being who had his internal organs removed, his flesh rubbed down with preservatives and wrapped up with cloth, and was placed in a sarcophagus (a type of coffin). This was done to keep the body from rotting. Though eventually they rotted pretty good anyway.

I wouldn't exactly call it fascination but obsession instead. It is us who are very fascinated. For them, they just want to go to the afterlife and prepares for it [more than half of their lifetime] considering for them, living is just a few decades while afterlife is eternal.

yes they do they take the liver, lungs , stomach and intestines

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.

Autopsies, which can help find out how people died. Also, we humans would not know as much about the human body and all the things that are contained in us. The mummification belief has helped us improve in medicine and medical systms.

When a person or animal dies, bacteria on the body causes it to decompose, eventually leaving just the skeleton behind. But sometimes, if the conditions are just right, a body will be mummified instead. A mummy is any dead body where the fleshy parts have been somehow preserved.Ancient mummies do not decay because they have been preserved.The blackened corpses were mistakenly credited to the use of bitumen in the embalming process.Not all mummies come from Egypt and are wrapped. In fact, mummies come from all over the world and have been found on every continent.

In ancient Egypt,only priests and his assistants were allowed to make mummies.The whole process takes 70 days.

Because with a Mummy, the tissues are preserved. Where as with a fossil, you have no tissue. You're really only left with fossilized bones.

The process itself took about 70 days.

1. His coffin

Go back in time to Ancient Egypt with a time machine, ask the Egyptian God Guy and ask him how to make a shabti......easy peasy

The jars are called canopy jars and each one were charged with safekeeping a particular human organ (or organs).

Duamutef - the jackal-headed god protected the stomach in his jar.

Qebehsenuaf - the falcon-headed god protected the intestines in his jar.

Hapi - the baboon-headed god protected the lungs in his jar.

Imseti - the human-headed god protected the liver in his jar.

Auto theft is a felony offense (more than one year in prison), and if you drive the vehicle across a state line, it changes from a state crime and becomes a federal offense.

I hope this link will help you find out more about the "mask of Anubis" from the TV show "House of Anubis".

the answer is that egyptians learnt about medicine by the mummification process, when they mummified, they looked through the body, so they were able to figure out what medicine would fix what sickness
