Trey mummification

WALT:write an information report.
Mummification Process

The Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead. Egyptians removed the brain, intestines, stomach, and the liver and were put in Canopic jars but they did not removed the heart. The Egyptians salted and dried the body. They stuffed some cloth inside the body so that it kept in shape. Next it was oiled and was wrapped in lots of cloth. The body was wrapped tightly to stop the body from rotting away. The process was supervised by a priest. The priest used special instruments to send the soul from the body to the next world. Some of dead bodies were put in ordinary boxes or it was decorated. But if it was someone special like a Pharaoh, the body was transferred into a stone case.

  1. Hi Trey, I really love your mummification story. I think it is really creepy on how they remove the organs instead of the heart. That is really weird and creepy. Do you think that we would like to remove the organs instead of the heart? Anyway Trey I think you did an amazing job on writing the mummification story. Well Done.
