Mummification


Walt: write a information report.

In  Ancient Egypt it was believed that mummies will live in the afterlife. Priests were in charge of mummies. In Egypt it was believed that the priest will send the dead body spirits to afterlife. The priest touched the body with  instruments. In a mummy’s body the organs and the brain was removed but the heart remained. The body was salted and dried. Then the body was stuffed with cloth to keep its shape. After the body was oiled and then wrapped tightly to stop the body from rotting. Then the body was placed in a case or a decorated box. The people that were special or the pharaohs were placed in a stoned coffin.
