Educate the Public: Mummification

The egyptians believed that when someone died, their body needed to be preserved for the afterlife. Without preserving the dead body, the passage into the afterlife would not be possible. In order to preserve the body, mummification needed to be done. Therefore, mummification was a major aspect of Ancient Egypt. A major aspect of sixth grade social studies is this blog: Water for Sixth Grade. So today, we are going to combine the two and blog about mummfication. You may or may not have noticed, but people from all over the world visit this blog. It is quite likely that all the people that visit this blog know nothing about Mummfication. Your task is to educate the WSG visitors about Mummification. Assume they know nothing about this topic.

  16. Mummification is the process of drying out a dead body to prevent it from rotting.
    Egyptians mummify to ensure safe passage to the afterlife since they believed you needed your body in the afterlife.
    The process of mummification is this.
    step 1: announcement of death where a messenger would parade around and tell everyone who has died.
    step 2: embalming the body where the body was brought to a special tent for embalming.
    step 3: removal of brain where the egyptians would mix up the brain with a long hook and they did not know the purpose of the brain so they threw it away.
    step 4: removal of internal organs where a slitter would cut open a person but then would have to be pelted with stones, which I thought to be fairly pointless. they would then pull out the organs.
    step 5: drying out process
    step 6: wrapping the body
    step 7: the final procession
    those are the steps of mummification(I ran out of time at the end).

  55. 1.THe process in which you preserve the dead.
    2.THey would preserve the dead so they would believe that they would be/look the same as now and continue there life in the afterlife.
    3.THe first step is the announcment of death... this process is when one of the people go out and tell the other people that the pharoah has died. The second step is embalming the body ...they would take the to a tent to be embalmed. THe next step is the removal of the brain...they would take a stick like hook and stick it up there nose and get the brain not all of it would come out so you had to take a stick like thing and stick it back up the nose and stir it up then flip the body over and it would all come out ! (eww)
    Next, is the removal of the internal organs such as the liver,lungs,stomach,intestines.
    The next step was the drying out process ..this lasted for 40 days.
    The next step waswrapping the body. they wrapped it with hundreds yards of linen
    the last step is the final procession. This is where the family and friends would walk through the town on there way to the burial . If the pharoah was not liked the family would pay the people to cry to show that he was wanted.
    The first ritual is the opening of the mouth . a person would touch the parts of the face with special instruments . If he/she didnt do this in the afterlife supposiably the pharoah wouldnt be oable to see,hear,eat.or move !
    the second ritual is the weighing of the heart . If the heart weighed more than a festher he was doomed to a horrible fate but if it was lighter he would live immortality.

  63. HI I'm in the unit of Ancent Egypt. Today we are talking about mummification. Mummifiction is when the Egyptians preserve a dead pharoh or king. The Egptians believed that a pharoh or king should live in the afterlife. The first process is announcement of the death. They announce the death because they want to have a funeral. The second step is embaling the body. That means the Egyptains get the body ready for mummification. The 3rd step is to remove the brain. They would remove the brain because the Egyptains did not know about the purpose of the brain. The 4th step was when they removed the organs, they would put them in conopic jars for the afterlife. The 5th step is the drying out process, the Egyptains would cover it with nitron salt. The 6th step was wrapping the body, they would wrap it with toilet paper. The 7th step is the final process, people would be paid to cry. One ritual was to open the mouth.

  71. Hello everybody. If you want to learn about egytion mummification, stay tuned. First i should tell you the definition of mummifieing is the process of drying out a dead body to prevent it from rotting. The egytians mummified pharos or anybody so the have passage to the afterlife.
    The first step they took was the anouncment of death. Sombody went out in the streets and said that the person was dead. Next they brought the body to specail tents wicth was called embalbing the body. Next the removed the brain. the egyptains did not know the importance of the brain though we do. So they pulled the brain out through the nose with a long hook. Then the mixed it up with a wire and drained it out the nose.
    Then it was the removal of internals organs like the lungs, stomach, and intestinges. A person got these organs out with a small slit made on the left side of the stomache, then the person reached in and pulled the organs out. Each organ induviguley wrapped. For step 5 was the drying out process, the body would be covered in salt and be left in the sun for 40 days.
    Then they wrapped the body in linnen.
    Then they would do the final prosesion, family and friends would walk through the town on their way to the bariel, poeple were paid to cry!

Than he would get pelted with rocks. Than they cover him in salt for forty days so it would dry. Also they would put magic amulets on it so it would protect it.

    2. The egypatians mummified because body, shadow, name, spirit, personality, immortality, could not exist.
    3. The removal of the brain.

    5. Then wrapping the body.
    6. Then the final prosession.
    Notes: Ritual number 1: Opening of the mouth: * Priests would touch the parts of the face with special instruments. - Purpose: Without this process, dead person would not be able to see, hear, eat, or move in afterlife. * Then laid in burial chamber with: belongings, canopic jars, and the book of the dead. Ritual number 2: Weighing of the heart: * Heart taken out of the body and weighed against the feather of truth. If balanced: soul granted immortality. If heart was heavier: sould doomed to horrible fate.

  98. 1.Mummification was drying out a dead body to prevent it from rotting.

    3. The Step To Mummify

    A person(messenger) was sent to the streets to announce the death
    2.Embaling the Body
    The dead body was brought to special tents for embaling
    3.Removal of the Brain
    The Egyptains thought the brain was a waste of space so they took it out and through it away. They used a hook and put it up the nose to remove it. Or the brain was mixed up with the wire and drained out the nose.
    4.Removal of the Organs
    They removed the liver, the lungs, the stomach, and the intestines. For this step they made a cut and simple pulled the organs out. Then the organs were wrapped and put into jars.
    5.Drying out Process
    This was the longest step. It took 40 days. The Egyptains put salt on the body and the slab was at a slant so the water could run out.
    6.Wrpping the Body
    This step was very difficult. It took hundreds of yards of lines. Shroud was added to keep everything together. Then the body was coved with mummia. Mummia was sort of like glue. This is where the word mummy came from.

  101. #1 The word "mummification" means to dry out a dead body and presurve it.
    #2 The Egyptians mummified people because they beleived in the afterlife. they thought that if the special sarimony was not preformed, people would not pass over to the after life.
    #3 When a pharaoh or someone was dead, someone would call out into the streets," the pharaoh is dead!"
    Then, the dead body would be brought to the emblaming tent.
    Next, they Egyptians thought the brain surved no perpose in the body so they removed it by sticking a hook up the nose to grab out the brain.
    After that, they removed the internal organs(liver,lungs,stomache,&intestines)by having a person called the "slitter" cut a hole in the left side of the stomache but for damaging the organ the slitter would be hit with rocks.
    They also covered the body with ntron salt to dry out.
    next they wraped the body with hundreds of yards of linend and place amulets and gold in the wrapping to protect the mummy.
    Then they covered the body in a glue like substance to keep everything together.
    Finally, when the body was taken away, the family of the dead person would pay people to cry for them to make it look like the person was popular.
    BONUS: The priest would touch the face of the dead person so that in the afterlife the person could see, hear, eat, and move.
    The other ritual is the weighing of the heart when the Egyptians thoought that Anubus, the god of death, would weigh their heart seeing if they would be granted imortality or suffer a fate.

    Ritual 1. In this ritual the priest touched all over the dead person's face. The priest also opened the persons mouth. The Egyptians belived that without this step the person would not be able to eat, hear, see, or move.

    Ritual 2. When the people toke out the heart of the dead body Anubus would weigh it against a Feather. This would deside if the person get imortality or suffer a fate.
