Ancient Egypt facts!! By Logan and Rachel
DID YOU KNOW....
That if you got buried n the Acient Eqypt ground, you often wouldn't rot! This is because there is few alive bacteria in the ground. Leaving the bodys to gradually dry up!
The richer people used a fancy mummification process. The undertakers would take out all your guts and put them in canopic jars. Then they shrunk your brain and pulled your brain out through your nostrils using a hook like a crochet hook!
But they didn't take out your heart, because the Ancient Egyptians believed that your soul was in your heart, and you needed t in the afterlife!
Then the undertakers stuffed you full of Natron. Natron is a mix between salt and soda. Natron dries things out. When they thought you were dry enough, they washed off the Natron. Then stuffed you full of leaves and sawdust and other scraps to make you look more normal!
The undertakers wrapped you in strips of linen, tucking in good luck charms while they do it. Then they covered the linen with a layer of papyrus straps, like paper mache. Finally they put you in a series of wooden coffins, one inside the other and then in a ston sarcophagus!
The richer you were, the more complicated the mummification process was. If you couldn't afford natron, for instance, you might just have to get your guts taken out and stop there. But most people were too poor to have mummification at all!
Like the Sumerians at the same time, the Egyptians around 3000-2500 BC, devoted a lot of energy and resources to build big buildings. The Pyramids are one of the most impressive monuments in the world! You can even still go and visit them today!
The Pharaohs, the ruler of Egypt, built the Pyramids as tombs for them selves. The First Pharaohs built simpler tombs, called mastabas!
