| mummification in ancient egypt |
Although the Pharaonic civilization proves every day the uniqueness and miles made by a different league and alone outside the group of world civilizations at the time, but the mystery of mummification remains always more mysteries of the Pharaohs mysterious and exciting, and between scientists who are fascinated by the process of mummification and worked hard to unseen Researcher English sound Ataram which made it clear that this process was carried out in or near the cemetery in workshops mummification. And begin the steps to mummification process to transfer the body to "Ibo," a tent where washing the body of the deceased with water and a small amount of salt natron, which is brought from the "Valley of Natron" was developed body of the deceased after removal of his clothes on the table, embalming and shed with water mixed with salt When cleansing the body was being moved to the "Waebt-Watt" or to the pure place or "Bernfr", a beautiful home where he is sewn .. The mummification process takes 70 days since the declaration of death and even enter the body to the tomb, and during this period,The viscera were removed and dried, stuffed and wrapped with linen and shrouding.
-British researchers have conducted tests for three years a sample of the material used by ancient Egyptians in embalming Momciawathm. The analysis showed the presence of a very large group of components, including the types of animal fats and vegetable oils, beeswax and vegetable glues.
Researchers have discovered that the embalming materials created by the Pharaohs was a combination of cheap materials, and other precious and rare at that time, such as rice and oil of juniper, which were Isturdan from outside Egypt.

Steps to mummification
Extraction of the brain, usually through the nose by a hook of bronze, and pour in the skull by means of the nose and through the suppression, the brain goes out of the head and given that one of the first brain tissue, which are biodegradable and mold after death. Then open abdomen from the left by Ethiopian stone, and this slot is extracted intestine, liver, spleen, and kidneys mummify in salt, then wrapped tapes linen, and then pave the diaphragm to extract the lungs. If the heart eradicated by mistake with the lungs, re-embalmed and put in place again because of the importance of the heart of the ancient Egyptians. Was placed so-called "heart scarab" writing by the mantra of the Book of the Dead place of the real heart, and then wash the abdominal cavity and chest wine dates, spices, and then fills abdomen of various materials such as myrrh, cinnamon, and then sew the opening and treat the viscera by grease and perfumes.
Then placed the body in Natron to dry and extracted afterwards to wash with water and dried may be washed wine dates again, and remember the process of washing the story of legendary "Sunrise" from the waters of the Nile, and the stuffed cavity of the skull Resin or linen saturated with resin, while stuffed hollowed chest and abdomen with myrrh and aromatics the other, then rounded lips cover the wound and the wound plaque or beeswax and prove the board by pouring molten resin on it.

Then paint the body with oil, myrrh, stuffed mouth linen submerged in the resin and address the ear, nose, sometimes in the same manner and extracted the eyes, but pushing them in Tjoifama then stuffed the cavity with linen and attracts eyelids fillers, or put other things in the orbital eye, such as "onion", and sometimes were placed cosmetics on the face or put a wig over the head or between fingertips until the nails do not fall, and address the whole body is molten resin to give the body rigidity and fill pores and then covered with linen body very neatly, so stick to each other and the body coil with glue. For the coils were covered with a shroud the body heal and then direct the fingers of the hands and feet soft linen shrouds of the head and then very carefully from the right shoulder and then heal the chest, upper limbs and lower limbs in the end.
during the roll body was shed resin and paint over the coffins to ensure their adherence to and during each of these operations there was a priest of the recitation of some of the spells, and after the completion of the mummy was placed inside the packaging made of cardboard or wood, then returned to the family. Came the word " Mummy "from the Persian origin of the word" mm ", meaning" wax ".. And became a mummy in Arabic.
Developed methods of embalming the Pharaohs over hundreds of years

Showed the analysis conducted on samples taken from the mummies belonging to the successive eras of the Pharaohs embalming materials developed over time by adding the components of the deadly germs to protect the mummies of decomposition.
This study was conducted by two chemists at the University of Bristol in Britain, in order to study the evolution of methods of mummification over two thousand and three hundred years of age Pharaonic civilization.
And scientists monitor the evolution of materials during the mummification of the change in the components during that long period of time.
The researchers said the two Aevrashid Dr. Richard and Dr. Stephen Buckley The vegetable oils and animal fats was one of the basic components of the embalming materials.
The scientists believe that the ancient Egyptians were mixing these oils and fats that were available and cheap in limited quantities of other materials are scarce and expensive to prepare the materials that were used in the mummification of the dead.

Resurrection
The ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. The ancient Egyptian religions say that man can not be resurrected only after returning the soul to the body.
I think it should be the pharaohs embalmed the dead to protect the body from decomposition to be able to find the soul from the body to be a process of resurrection.
Have developed methods of embalming the Pharaohs over hundreds of years and discovered that it must first remove the internal organs to protect the body from decomposition, and then treated with salts, glues, oil, rice, honey, tar and dried in order to protect from germs.
The researchers report they published in the science journal Nature that the choice of the components of embalming materials was influenced by the cost factor and the shouts of the fashion that prevailed.
It was a wealthy ancient Egyptians are keen to buy embalming materials precious to honor their dead, as some of the wealthy resort today to buy coffins and precious luxury building tombs.
