Mummification In-Depth


Mummification is a fascinating (and gross) ritual of the ancient Egyptians. Ancient Egypt wasn't the only civilization to mummify their dead, but the process in which they did it was very elaborate. Mummification was a very important aspect to their religion and belief of the afterlife. Without preserving the body, their soul would not be able to travel to the Afterlife and gain eternity. Where did these mummies go? In the pyramids. The pyramids were not worship centers or just cool monuments, they were tombs for the mummy and all the other items buried with it. In class, we talked about the steps of mummification but with this prezi, we are going to extend our mummification learning a little further by going in-depth. This mummification prezi will teach you about a few other details about mummification. All you have to do is tell me what you learned from it. The information contained in this prezi will be on the test.
Task: Go through the "Mummification In-Depth" Prezi and tell me three things that you learned.
DUE: Friday, November 11th, 2011. Midnight.
POINTS: 20 completion points.

  13. I learned that mummification in Egypt was a religious thing that they did. They mummified, or preserved the body, of a person because they believed that to get to the afterlife the soul needed a body. Another thing I now know about mummification is that the main thing you must do is remove the moist parts of the body, which means they took out the organs like the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines. Natron Salt was used to soak up all the remaining moister. Anubis is the god of mummification, and the person who guides everyone through the processes of mummifying wears a jackal mask to look like him.

  99. I learned alot of stuff from the prezi but i think since i dont have so much time i'll tell only half of what i learned from the prezi.

    1.the first step was the announcment of death
    2.the second step was removal of the brain.
    3.step was that they had to remove the four important organs and put them in canopic jars and the four jars looked cool on the prezi.
    4. after the third step they had to pour natron salt in the body to wash away the nutrients in the body.
    5. then they had to wrap the body.
    6.the final step was to put it in the pyramid or something it seems that i have short term memory loss.
    And plus to make it to the aftrlife they had to weigh the the heart to the feather of truth if it was lighter then the pharaoh could make it to the afterlife,if it was heavyer then it wouldnt make it to the afterlife.

    THAT's ALL PEACE OUT WS!!!...(water for sixth grade) PEACE!!!... AGAIN.
