Mummification

Walt: write an information report

In Ancient Egypt the Egyptians mummified their dead. Before they could make the dead person into a mummy they had to remove all it’s organs and only leave the heart. After they have removed the organs they put salt all over the body and then dried the body. When they dried the body they stuffed the inside with cloth to keep the body in shape. Next they oiled the body and wrapped it up with lots of bandages so that it could stop the body from rotting away. The mummification was supervised by a priest that wears a jackal on his head. The Egyptians believed that the priest could send the dead bodies spirits to it’s afterlife. The people that is not important will be placed into a wooden box or a decorated box. The important people like Pharaohs will be placed into a stone coffin.
