Mummies

It took over 70 days to mummify one human being.

Because they had camels.

In most museums. There are some in the Milwaukee museum (the one closest to me) so if there are some in Milwaukee, then there are probably some where you live.

You can see an Egyptian mummy, at the Vatican museums.

also in Italy, Egpyt and some more in Europe

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.

when they die they thought they were still alive so they kept there possessions because they thought they needed them.

Egyptian men and women both used eye makeup. Egyptians decorated their eyes with aesthetic care. It was so important that even the humblest graves consistently contain at least a simple palette. It is thought they believed it protected them from the 'Evil Eye' and it may have also had religious meaning.

Irrigation helped Egypt grow to the developed empire is became and endured for centuries. Progress in art and science can only develop when the people have enough food and water to free a portion of the population from agriculture to pursue "higher" pursuits.

I'm not sure exactly what they thought the brain was, but they did believe that it was useless, and that the heart did all of your thinking.

Since the skeleton is the bone structure of an individual, the difference is that mummies are likely to still have their skin on the bones. Their bodies may also include organs and soft tissue.that have been preserved either by ice or wrapped in cloths.

Mummification is the preservation of the soft tissue of a body by any means, natural or artificial.

Embalming is the deliberate preservation of a body for any period of time. This includes what we commonly term "the process of mummification" in Ancient Egypt

Sometimes, but if they were they were poorly mumified, and not in a sarcophagus.

They believed that the heart was the thing that you made all your decisions with. They also thought it would be necessary in the afterlife, especially when Anbuis was judging your life by weighing your heart against the Feather of Truth.

So they can live in the after life. they didn't believe the brain was used for thinking, instead people in ancient Egypt thought that the heart was used for thinking...that way they could still be able to do things in the after life.

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.
