Mummy+Written+Response

The First thing you usally think of when your hear the word mummy is dead people in a wrap! But theres more to just wrapping! A lot more! Well you probably think you wrap up a body and leave the heart and guts. YOU'RE WRONG!!! In the article i read it had all this information on mummys i would like to share with you. The reason why they scoop out all the insides is because without all of it, it wont rot. And in my opinion i would rather have a rotting mummy than scooping out the insides!! Anyways each different organ is put in jars called CANOPIC jars with a god on it, to 'protect' the insides. Then afterward they rinse out the body with whine. And for the most gross part! They stick a straw type thing in your nose and scoop out piece by piece of your brain! I know this has got to be true because i heard it in the article and in the art muesum. The next step was the longest which took 70 days! They let the mummy soak in a salt like substance called NATRON, the salt absorbes all the water in the body and helps kill bacteria. Next is the wrapping!! Each finger and toe is wrapped sepretly. Than into a coffin...than another...than another. Royalty gets more coffins than other people they get the 'ROYAL' treatmeant. And quite frankly i am happy i will never be a mummy
