How are mummies made? Why did the ancient Egyptians make mummies?
In fact, the ancient Egyptians made mummies because Huaiji people believed that as long as the body of the deceased could not rot, the soul of the deceased could return to the afterlife, so that it could be resurrected. Therefore, pharaohs in ancient Egypt were mummified after their death to continue their resurrection. Of course, these are actually unscientific.

How to make a mummy 0 1 First of all, it is necessary to clean the body before making mummies. After the death of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, the bodies of these pharaohs will be sent to special places for treatment. The general public needs to clean these bodies first, then break their brains, and then put some special drugs directly into their heads.

02. The next thing to do is antiseptic treatment. Generally, the internal organs of these bodies will be taken out, but the heart will always be kept in the chest, because the ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was the source of human wisdom, and if it was destroyed, it could not be revived. However, the heart left in the chest cavity will also be embalmed, mainly with some drugs.

03. The next thing to do is dehydration. Pharaoh's body needs to be soaked in baking soda, and the filler inside should be completely dried before taking it out. Then some drugs and spices will be stuffed back into Pharaoh's body and finally an incision will be made.

04. All the above work has been done, and the next step is plastic surgery. Generally, some spices and turpentine are used to beautify Pharaoh's skin, and at the same time, female eyeballs are placed in the eye sockets of the mummy, so that the whole mummy will be more vivid.

In the last step, you need to wrap the Pharaoh's body with some linen. You have to wrap Pharaoh's body like a big zongzi, and then put Pharaoh's body directly into the coffin, and you're done.
