Yes, the ancient Egyptians used antiseptic spices to hide their bodies. After years of drying up, mummies formed. The specific process of mummification. The ancient Egyptians used antiseptic spices to hide their bodies. After years of drying up, mummies formed. The ancient Egyptians believed that the human soul would not die. They will still cling to bodies or statues. Therefore, Pharaoh and others were mummified after their death. Thinking is asphalt. It refers to a dry and uncorrupted corpse. Egypt has found the largest number of mummies, the earliest time and the most complicated technology. When making mummies, the Egyptians first took out part of the brain marrow from the nostrils of dead bodies with iron hooks and injected some drugs into the brain for cleaning. Then, they cut a hole in the side abdomen with a sharp stone knife, completely removed the internal organs, and washed the abdomen with coconut milk wine and mashed spices. After this step is completed, put the body in baking soda powder for 70 days, and then wash the body. Wrap it with fine linen from head to toe, then apply gum, which is commonly used in Egypt, not ordinary glue, and then give the body to relatives. Relatives put it in a special humanoid wooden box, kept it in the tomb and stood upright against the wall. This expensive method of disposing of corpses is generally suitable for pharaohs, dignitaries and the rich. The method of making mummies is much simpler. Wash the abdomen with laxatives, and then soak the body in baking soda for 70 days. After taking it out, let the wind blow dry and bury it in a dry sand dune. Ancient Egyptians, rich or poor, were mummified after their death. This is because they believe that people are made up of body and soul. Even in the underworld, the dead still need their own bodies. These bodies are not "useless bodies". You can always use it. Soul is gradually lost with the gradual destruction of the body. The complete destruction of the body means the complete death of the soul. As long as the body is preserved and the soul has a place to live, the dead can be reincarnated. The specific production process and method are as follows: if someone dies, his body is first sent to a place called "clothing department": the body is specially purified. After the body was washed with soda water, it was sent to a place called [place of worship] or [Peier-Napier] (meaning beautiful house). In this regard, Herodotus left us with detailed information. First, he applied melted turpentine to his face to protect his facial image and prevent it from drying too fast. Second, he treated the brain marrow. The craftsman put the chisel in the left nostril, crushed the ethmoid bone, and then rotated the tool in his brain to destroy the brain marrow. A very small spoon with a long handle is used to destroy the brains through the nostrils. Finally, some drugs and spices were stuffed into the empty skull. Brain marrow is generally not preserved. Third, the internal organs, stomach, intestine, liver and lungs were taken out from the left abdominal incision. Then use palm oil as cleaning solution to clean the chest and abdomen. These organs are sometimes neatly wrapped in turpentine balls and put into the mummy's stomach. Sometimes they are packed in a small jar with a lid and then put into the stomach. Small pots are becoming more and more complicated from the ancient kingdom to the new kingdom. Head-shaped can cover. In the early18th century, the jar cover was guarded by the gods [son of Horace], but it was taboo to take out the heart in ancient Egypt. They regard the heart as a symbol of wisdom and try their best to keep it in the body. Here is a record that three people on duty take turns to monitor their hearts. Fourthly, dehydration is a very important drying process. The craftsmen first wrapped the soaked alkali and other temporary fillers in cloth, and then soaked them in dry soaked alkali powder for about 40 days. After the water is sucked up, take out the filler and put it in a cloth bag, which is filled with crushed myrrh, cinnamon, alkali soaking and sawdust. Finally, carefully sew the incision and stick a piece. It has strong healing power and protective power. Fifth, cosmetic surgery. In order to maintain its softness, the mummy's skin is selectively coated with a mixture of milk, wine, spices, beeswax, turpentine and asphalt to beautify the skin. Mummy's eyes are full of flax and stones. Very vivid. The mummy was finally coated with turpentine to prevent moisture. The makeup artist will also sprinkle a layer of carmine on the mummy's cheek. Hair is braided. Jewelry. Sixth, packaging. Egyptians thought it was dangerous to wrap the body, so prayers were accompanied during the whole wrapping process (usually 15 days). Every time the hand moves to dress the body, it is accompanied by solemn prayers or magical spells. At the same time, protective strips are placed between linen bandages. They attach great importance to putting it at the core. Amulets are usually made of scarabs or green stones in the shape of human hearts. It is engraved with the words "Preserve the heart of the deceased so that it will not produce anything harmful to its owner". Other amulets were placed near the mummy's body or wrapped in linen. Seventh. The time is usually 70 days. After that, Anubis secretly returned the mummy to his family and waited for burial. Local people's routine method: (1) Take out the most perishable internal organs immediately. Usually, an incision is made on the left side of the corpse. Liver, lungs, stomach, intestines and other internal organs are all taken out. The brain marrow of the dead is taken out of the nostrils through the sieve bone, but the heart is not taken. Because the ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was an organ for thinking and understanding. Must stay in the body. (2) Preserve internal organs and body cavities. First, thoroughly clean and disinfect with palm wine or date palm wine. Then sprinkle a layer of mashed spices on the internal organs. Store them in four jars. For the disinfected body cavity, it is first filled with temporary fillers such as soaking alkali wrapped in cloth, and then soaked in dry soaking alkali powder for about 40 days. After the water is drained, take out the filler and put it in a cloth wrapped with crushed myrrh, cinnamon, soaked alkali and sawdust. Finally, carefully sew the knife edge and paste a piece of skin with Horace's eyes painted on it, because the ancient Egyptians thought this kind of skin had strong healing and protective power. Apply a layer of ointment or rosin solution to the treated corpse, and then wrap fingers, palms, feet and stems with white linen in turn. The nose of the deceased is sometimes damaged by extracting brain marrow. At this time, a wooden fake nose should be installed. Eye sockets should also be covered with cloth or artificial eyes. (4) Put the deceased's hands across his chest and put them into the sarcophagus. Sometimes a coffin lid is added outside.
