Contribution to time

In Ancient Egypt there was a priest called Amenemopet. He was the priest that knew how to tell time. The priest is also called the hour-watcher because he tells the time during the day and the night. At night Amenemopet use a water clock. The water clock is a container that they fill up with water it also has marks in the inside. The water drips from a really small hole at the bottom of the container. The water will drop in one of the marks and then it will drop into another which means that one hour has past.

Mummification

When someone has died the people who does the mummies go and get the person and then take out all his organs except his heart. Next they put salt all over his body and dried it. After that they stuffed cloth inside his body to keep his shape. Then they put oil over his body and raped him with a lot of bandages to stop the body from rotting away. All of the process is supervised by the priest that wears the jackal on his head that signified Anubis. The Egyptians believed that the priest could send the dead bodys spirit into the next life. All the important people like the Pharaoh is placed in a stone coffin and ordinary people just get placed in a decorated box or a normal box.
