The ancient Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing
for it. Elaborate burial rituals included preparing the burial site, providing for all of the deceased's
material needs (food, clothing, jewels and tools for their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it
would not decay. This preservation was accomplished through a process of mummification. The
ancients left no written accounts as the execution of this process, so scientists have had to examine
mummies and establish their own theories. The embalming process might have taken up to seven
days for the pharaohs and nobility and only a few days for the poor.
The embalmers spread a variety of compounds of salt, spices and resins in allover the corpse
to preserve it. They followed this with a prescribed wrapping, a procedure in which the wound
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
strips of fine linen around, over and under the body while placing various amulets within the
wrappings to protect the deceased from harm in the long journey to the afterlife. They also painted
resins over the wrapped linen. Finally, a pharaoh or noble would have been encased in a wooden
box before being placed in a sarcophagus.
