5. Egyptian mummification is the process of preparing the preservation of the dead body either animal or human. First the head and neck are wrapped by strips of lien. After that the fingers along with toes are individually wrapped. Once that is done the arms and legs are wrapped separately. Between layers of wrapping the embalmers place amulets for protection against evil spirits for their journey to the underworld.

6. While the mummy is being prepared a priest reads aloud while the mummy is being wrapped. The words read out by the priest are spells that will fend off the evil spirits. Once the arms and legs are tied together a scroll made of papyrus is set in between the two of the mummies wrapped hands. After that more linen strips are wrapped around the body. At each layer a glue-like liquid is painted on to help keep bandages glued together. Then a big cloth is wrapped around the body and the image of Osiris, god of the underworld, is painted on it’s surface.That is not yet the end to all the hard work. A huge cloth is wrapped around the entire body. It its attached with strips of linen that run from the bottom to the top of the mummy and also around the mummy’s middle.

7. Then a wooden, painted board is placed on top of the mummy before the once living body is lowered into the coffin. The first coffin is then placed into a second one. The funeral is soon held and the family mourns the death of the loved one. A ritual is performed after the funeral and it is called the “ Opening of the Mouth"

8. “Opening of the Mouth.” This enables the deceased to eat and drink once again. After that many procedures that they have taken the mummy in it’s coffins is placed in side a large stone that is called a sarcophagus. That all is placed in side a tomb where furniture and many other important personal objects are put inside for the mummy. After much awaited time his body is ready for the journey through the underworld.That is where his heart will soon be judged by his good doings on earth. If his heart is pure he will be sent to live for all eternity in the gorgeous “ Field of Reeds!”

9. While being mummified the organs of the mummy were often placed in hallow, empty canopic jars to dry. Later on at about 1000 B.C. the dried organs were usually place back inside the body of the mummy. If that was the case then the empty canopic jars were placed in the mummy,s tomb. CLICK HERE

10. Osiris is the god of the underworld.He judges the deceased and decides if they should be allowed into the fields of reeds. His first cult was found in Abydos where his actual tomb was found. His wife as well as his sister was called Isis and they had a son named Horus. ClickClick Here

11. All tombs have a tunnel. The tombs in Egypt all have decorations and different neteru which are angels of god that are guiding the dead person through. The tombs were not built for public viewing. Some Tombs of the royal tombs were called mastabas which were surrounded by pyramids.
