So What if I Wanted to be a Mummy???
 |
| AAAHHHHHH!!! I'M GOING TO EAT YOU!!!!!! |
If you want to be a mummy, first off ,I think you are crazy, second off, you have to have a lot of money. You have to be available for 70 days to be mummified (that shouldn't be hard to do since your dead).If your a pharaoh, which i bet your probably not, the closest thing we have to that is President Obama, you are buried in a pyramid or valley of the kings. You also, before you die, must pick out a sarcophagus. Sarcophagusesesssss, sarcphigi, sarcophiwhoee-whatee, how ever you say that, are usually painted bright colors like bright blue, red and my favorite, purple! By the time this was all over you had a funeral and the priest would offer perfumes and recite text form the book of the dead and then they would take you to your tomb! A tomb is another word for a house of eternity.
Why I Want to be a Mummy? Dude, That's Nasty!!!!!!!!!!

| Told you it was nasty but no, you people don't listen! |
Do you think it would be gross to be a mummy and that you should be sad when someone dies? Ha ha, not if your Egyptian! It was great thing for some you knew to die, wackos. But it was an honer, so was becoming a mummy. It's a strange tradition, yes but they believed after you die you go to an eternal after life so this was just a practice... weird! I'm TOTALLY glad I'm not an Egyptian!
It's Time For a Border Showdown, Well Burial Showdown...
Who's burial was better, King Tut or King Khufu??? Tut was buried in the valley of the kings,he had his own curse, no grave robbers and at his funeral they hired professional mourners. I wonder how well they get paid... Any way Khufu ( I think that's my new favorite word, so much fun to say :D)was buried in a great pyramid in the town Giza. Another peculiar thing was that he was buried in the pyramid rather than underneath it like others. so who's Burial was better? I think Tut's was he even had his own curse on anybody who came in his tomb and stole stuff!!!!!!!

Were There Crazy Egyptian Burial Customs? You Bet There Were!
 |
| I grantee you mummies don't look like this!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
One insane thing to us is a crucial thing to the Ancient Egyptians. One insane thing like, in the after life you didn't need your brain so they would just pull it out through your nose, nasty and painful, i know, but it's what they believed so whatever.They also believed that after you died you went to a weighing of the heart ceremony where Anubis (the god of the after life) would weigh your heart and a feather, if the heart of yours weighed more than feather, ha ha you had no chance of having an afterlife! You were also buried with this really big book called book of the dead which you can read about in some of these other blogs.
Steps To Making Your Own Homade Mummy!
 |
| See this is my mummy. Ha ha just kinding I wish I could have seen the look on your face when you read that! |
Things You'll Need:
1)a body (I know ew!)
2)oils,salt, perfumes
3)canopic jars
4)linen
5)embalder (leader of mummification process)
First you body will need to have its organs taken out. If there are any boys around let them do this. Then clean, cover in salt and place outside to dry. After dry, wrap in linen and place in canopic jars. DO NOT REMOVE HEART!!!!! This will be needed in the weighing of the heart ceremony after the mummification process. The brain however, is not needed and can be pulled out through the nose.
Do the same thing to the body and let it sit outside for 12 days to dry, once dried wrap in tight and thick layers of linen. Then place in sarcophagus, A.K.A a really fancy coffin.
After this you, if rich, were buried in a pyramid or the valley of kings. If somewhat rich then you were buried in a deep grave with other people. If poor you didn't get buried very well or very far down.
And that's how to make your own mummy!!!!!
