Part II ( 5 pts)
Directions: Read the text below and describe the process of
mummification. The first one is done for you
Mummification was done to preserve the body because the soul and the ka
meet and live again.
The practice started in the pre dynastic
period with the change from simple desert burials, which preserved
the body naturally,
to burial in coffins. Although the coffins
protected the bodies from the attacks of animals they encouraged
decomposition. Then the Egyptians developed a technique to maintain the
bodies. The essential steps in mummification were removing the
viscera, dehydrating the
body with natron, treating it with resin,
wrapping them in strips of linen, or bandages, and finally decorating it.
The
ceremonial
aspects
were
considered
crucial,
and
the
procedure took about seventy days. Today we call this process
mummification.

a) First of all they removed the viscera.
