In ancient Egypt, there were two ways to make mummies. The first method is to make mummies of poor people in ancient Egypt. Because there is no money, the production process is relatively simple. As long as the body is soaked in alkali, then dried, and finally wrapped in linen, it can be buried. The second is that mummification of pharaohs, senior officials and other dignitaries in ancient Egypt is very complicated. Today, I will focus on mummification technology.

The mummification process of Pharaoh in ancient Egypt is mainly divided into five steps, which is quite complicated. The first step is to clean up the body and deal with the brain. After Pharaoh's death, his body will be quickly sent to the mummy workshop. Craftsmen will wash the body first, then they will put the iron hook into the brain from the nose of the deceased, mash the brain, draw the brain and other liquids out of the brain, and then put some drugs and spices into the brain.

The second step is to take out the internal organs except the heart and store them separately. The ancient Egyptians would cut open the abdomen of the corpse with a knife, take out the lungs, stomach, intestines and liver, then wash these organs, soak them in alkali respectively, dry them, put them in four independent cans, and fill them with spices to achieve the purpose of antisepsis. The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was the "source of wisdom" of human beings, and once it was removed or damaged, it could not be revived, so the heart was kept in the chest.

The third step is to completely dehydrate the body. The craftsmen filled Pharaoh's abdomen with soaked alkali wrapped in cloth and other temporary fillers, and then completely soaked Pharaoh's body in soaked alkali powder. After the body is completely dried, craftsmen will take out the filler in the body, refill the Pharaoh's body with some drugs, spices and other antiseptic materials, and finally sew up the incision in the abdomen.

The fourth step is plastic surgery. These craftsmen are more like undertakers. They will perform plastic surgery for the Pharaoh's body, beautify the skin with a mixture of spices and turpentine, and put artificially fired porcelain eyeballs into the mummy's eye sockets, thus making the mummy's face more vivid and realistic.

Step five, make zongzi and put it in the coffin. In this last step, craftsmen wrapped Pharaoh's body in linen, directly wrapped it into a zongzi, and then put the mummy wrapped in zongzi into a human coffin. This is really done. Prepare for the funeral.
