Pyramids, mummies, pharaohs, sphinx, river Nile, hieroglyphics.. the list could go on. When you here all these, Egypt comes to mind.
I’m not going to talk about all of the above mentioned “icons” of Egypt. Instead, I will be focusing on mummies...
Mummies are not the kind that you go to when you get hurt… or maybe the kind you’d one to encounter on a regular day!
They have been around for thousands or millions of years, but,what is a mummy and why did ancient ancestors do this to their dead?
The answers may surprise you and shock you a bit, but hey we’re all curious cats here…
For starters, a mummy is a body that has lasted for centuries. How is that possible you may ask? Well, in Ancient Egypt you can find many mummies buried in the sand. That is if the archaeologist hasn’t gotten to them first! It will look like human jerky…
The hot desert sand draws all of the moisture out of the body and preserves it. The Ancient Egyptians discovered this and decided to do it themselves. They got a salt-like substance that oozes out of the “Mummy Mountain” in Persia“...
...the ancient Egyptians believed that mummifying a person's body after death was essential to ensurea safe passage to the afterlife. Is it? Or is it not?
We can never tell. Let’s leave it to them… to our archaeologists, that is.
