11. Egypt Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife when someone died. Mummification helped someone reach the afterlife as they thought that, in order to have an afterlife, the dead person would have to repossess his or her body. Egyptians believed that the only way to do this was if the body was recognizable.

12. The Mummification Process 1)Pull brain out of nose using a hook 2)Make a cut on the left side of the body near the tummy 3)Remove all internal organs 4)Let the internal organs dry 5)Place the lungs, intestines, stomach and liver inside canopic jars 6)Place the heart back inside the body 7)Rinse inside of body with wine and spices 8)Cover the corpse with salt for 70 days 9)After 40 days stuff the body with linen or sand to give it a more human shape 10)After the 70 days wrap the body from head to toe in bandages 11)Place in coffin * If the person had been a Pharaoh, he would be placed inside his special burial chamber with lots of treasure!
