not use slaves to make the mummy. Also there are many steps to make a mummy. A couple steps
are really important (the neutron and the coffins) and others are just little things (the slaves that
need to give supplies) They had reasons to do it. One of those reasons was the after-world were
they believe in if a important person go die priests make a mummy of that person, but if priests
make a mummy you need tools and materials for example to touch the mouth, a hook to pull the
brain out jars to put the organs in etc. They need seventy day to make the mummy( but not all the
days they did that and there was the mummy draining.)
Egyptians used tools and materials to make a mummy. First priests washed the body
with wine (Kunhart Mummies 7.) Then a priest pulled out his brain through his nose, next priests
cut the body open and then get the stomach out of the body while the heart stays in the place.
Next they did a really important thing, they stuffed the body with nutron and that makes the skin
hard so that is a big secret of mummification (Kunhart Mummies 8.) One thing that was also
important was the time of drying the nutron (Kunhart Mummies 10.) It need to be forty days, no
shorter, it can be five days longer than it should be. After the forty days they rubbed the body
with perfumes and painted the body with sticky tree sap (Kunhart Mummies 10.) The priests
needed to go through all those steps or else the body will not transform into a mummy, or if they
did the order wrong, the body did not transform into a successful mummy. Then priests wrapped
the body into bandages to protect the skin. They the wrapped everything apart in, so were the
fingers and toes (Kunhart Mummies 11.) They also put amulets or magic charms into the bandages, to
keep the evil away, bring them good luck and protect them in the afterlife (Kunhart Mummies 12.)
Carpenters prepared a coffin for the mummy and other people painted the coffins inside and outside with
gods and goddesses (Aliki Mummies made in Egypt 20). Finally the mummy was in its eternal resting
place and on the way to the after-life (Aliki Mummies made in Egypt 31.) They got many steps to make a
mummy and the also make an eye of the coffins, so the mummy can go to the after-life. In the after-life
they can do and act as they want to. Put last link in!!!
The Egyptians used tools and materials to make a mummy. One of the things that priests used
was hook, with the hook they pull the brain out through the nose (Kunhardt 8.) Later in the
process they used nutron (special salt) to stuff the body (Kunhardt 10.) They also used sticky tree
sap as paint (Kunhardt 10.) Priests used also a special instrument to touch the mouth with
(Geogehard 14.) They make the mummy so good as possible so they get a better after-life. When
they make the mummy they use a special knife made of ritual (Putnam 15.) When they made the
cut with the special knife to hide the cut they use a plate so no priests can see it (Putnam 15.)
When they made the cuts in the body they removed the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines in
different jars(Gibbons 20.) They put a mask to cover the mummys head (Putnam 15.) Finally
they use painted coffins with gods and goddesses, and sometimes they use five coffins to put
over the mummy (Putnam 14.) They did those steps with the right materials and all the priests
study for the mummification and use the right tools. All the tools and materials that they used
were to mummify and one of the most important material that they used was the nutron they only
used the materials that they needed never they try other things because others the mummy dont
