Mummy, that is, mummy. Ancient Egyptians used embalming spices to bury corpses, and after years of drying up, they became mummies. The ancient Egyptians firmly believed that the soul would not die after death, but would still be attached to the corpse or statue. Therefore, after the death of the pharaohs, they were mummified as a hope and deep memory of the deceased's eternal life. The original meaning of mummy is pitch, referring to a dry and incorruptible corpse. The largest number of mummies found in Egypt are the oldest, and the technology is the most complex. When the Egyptians made mummies, they first used iron hooks to remove part of the brain from the nostrils of the dead body and injected some medicine into the brain to clean it. Then, use a sharp stone knife to cut an incision on the side, take out the internal organs completely, clean the abdomen, fill it with coconut wine and mashed spices, and then sew it up as it was. After this step is completed, the body is placed in sodium chloride powder for 70 days, then the body is washed, wrapped in linen bandages from head to toe, and then coated with glue that is usually used in Egypt instead of ordinary glue. The body is then given to relatives, who put it in a special human-shaped wooden box and keep it in the tomb, placed upright against the wall. This expensive method of disposing of corpses was generally reserved for pharaohs, dignitaries, and wealthy men. The poor people's method of making mummies is much simpler. They clean the abdomen with laxatives, then soak the body in sodium chloride powder for 70 days. After taking it out, let the wind dry it and bury it in dry sand dunes. Ancient Egyptians, whether rich or poor, were mummified after death. This is because the ancient Egyptians believed that humans are composed of body and soul. Even in the world of the underworld, the dead still need their bodies. A corpse is not a "useless shell". As long as the body is kept intact, it can be used forever. The soul is gradually lost with the gradual destruction of the body, and the complete destruction of the body means the total 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": dedicated to purifying the body. After the corpse is washed with soda water, it is sent to a place called "Qabait" (meaning the place of purity) or "Per-Nafil" (meaning the house of beauty) to complete the filling of spices. Then came the mummification. In this regard, Herodotus left us detailed information. First, apply melted rosin to the face to protect the facial image and prevent it from drying out too quickly. Second, the brain plasma is processed. The craftsman inserted the chisel through the left nostril, smashed the ethmoid bone, then used the tool to rotate in the skull to destroy the brain marrow, used a very thin long-handled spoon to insert into the brain from the nostril to scoop out the brain pulp, and finally scooped out some Medicines and spices were stuffed into the empty skull. Brain plasma is generally not preserved. Third, remove the internal organs. The stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs were removed through an incision on the left side of the abdomen. Afterwards, use palm oil as a cleaning solution to cleanse the chest and abdominal cavity. The above organs were sometimes neatly wrapped in rosin balls and placed into the mummy's abdomen, and sometimes they were packaged in small jars with lids and then placed into the abdomen. Small jars became increasingly sophisticated from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom. At first, there were some simple jar lids, and in the Middle Kingdom, human head-shaped jar lids appeared. In the early 18th Dynasty, the lids of jars were guarded by statues of the "sons of Horas" guarding the four sacred internal organs. But there was a taboo in ancient Egypt about taking out the heart. They regarded the heart as a symbol of wisdom and tried every means to keep it in their bodies. There is a record in the "Book of the Dead" from the New Kingdom period that three people on duty took turns guarding the heart. Fourth, dehydration. This is an important drying procedure. Craftsmen first fill in the natron and other temporary fillers wrapped in cloth, and then place it in dry natron powder for about 40 days. After the water is absorbed, the fillers inside are taken out and crushed. A cloth bag filled with myrrh, cinnamon, natron, sawdust, etc., and finally the incision was carefully sewn, and a piece of skin painted with the eyes of Horas was attached, because the ancient Egyptians missed the powerful healing and protection power of this skin. force. Fifth, cosmetic plastic surgery. In order to maintain the softness of the mummy's skin, a mixture of milk, wine, spices, beeswax, rosin and tar was selectively applied to the skin to beautify it. The mummy's eyes were filled with linen and stones, making them very vivid and vivid. The mummy was finally coated with a layer of rosin to prevent moisture. The makeup artist also put a layer of carmine on the mummy's cheeks, put on a braided wig, dressed in clothes, and accessorized with the best jewelry. Sixth, the package. The Egyptians believed that wrapping a corpse was dangerous, so they accompanied the entire wrapping process (usually 15 days) with prayer. Each movement of the hands that bandaged the corpse was accompanied by a solemn prayer or magical charm, while the amulet was placed between the linen bandages. They attach great importance to placing it at the heart, and the amulet is usually made of green stone in the shape of a scarab or a human heart, with words such as "Keep the heart of the deceased so that it does not produce things that harm the owner" engraved on it. Other amulets were placed close to the mummy's body or wrapped in linen. Seventh, the mummy greets his card. The time is generally 70 days. Afterwards, the god Anubis secretly returned the mummy to his family to await burial. A zombie (or "zombie") is a corpse that has not decayed for a long time after death, turning into something like a mummy. The reason for the lack of decay may be due to climate or soil quality, but there are no physical reports yet.

The unofficial history of the Qing Dynasty, Shu Yi Ji (written by Dongxuan Master), contains the story of the appearance of a raped corpse. It roughly tells that in the early Qing Dynasty, there was a small village in the west of southern Hunan. A rogue in the village was poisoned by corpse poison due to tomb robbery. He was rescued by an old man, but because he did something inappropriate again, he was beaten up by the whole village, and then left in the grass in the back hill to fend for himself. A few days later, he came to ask for help again, but this time he didn't. People are willing to help him. The villagers beat him and tied him to a tree. Although some people tried to dissuade him, no one paid attention to him. In the end, he died on a tree. At night, the villagers wanted to bury him, but found that his body was missing. In the end, he came back and killed the whole village. The villagers turned into zombies one by one due to being bitten. Some villagers who left in time also turned into zombies when they returned to the village to visit in the morning.
