Mummification


Walt: write an information report.

In Ancient Egypt, Egyptians always mummified the people who had died . The Ancient Egyptians removed organs such as the brain but not the heart. They would always salt the body and keep the body to dried. Then they would stuff lots of cloths so that the body can keep it’s shape and to stop it from rotting  away. After the Egyptians would rub oil on the body. After they have rubbed the body with oil they would wrap it up with lots of bandages. The priest supervised. The people believed that the  priest could send the body’s spirit to the next world. Ancient Egyptians used very special instruments to touch the body. The mummies were placed in a case. Some cases were beautifully decorated and some were plain wooden. An important person like a Pharaoh would be placed in a stone coffin.
