Continued from 11"
(Egyptian Book of the Dead
EABudge)
The process of munimifica­
tion is the preservation of the
body of a human being or an
animal by an elaborate system
of embalming, Budge said.
It was practiced in Egypt for
30 centuries and in lands in­
fluenced by Egyptian culture,
He said seventy days wore re­
quired for mummification:
Forty days for the embalming
process and thirty days for
mourning.
Budge said the elaborate
process of preparing a body for
burial was not regarded as
. onerous. Though detail varied
in different dynastie , the tech­
nique achieved its fin t results
during the 18th Dyn lY.
First the brain was removed
and the cranium packed with
linen. The visera • with th ex­
ception of the heart, were
removed.
In certain era the e organs
were placed in four c n pic
jars. The no tril were plugged
with linen and pad placed ver
the eyes. After th cavity wa
washed out, the body wa
placed up to the neck in a large
jar of salt or natron to remov
the fat and epidermis, then it
was straightened out and
treated with a paste of resin and
spices. He said sometimes
p eking was inserted under the
skin to bring the body bac to its
original appearance. A d in
some ��, artificial eyes were
inserte� Las y, Budge ex­
plained the intricate process of
winding the mummy with long
linen b nd ge began. Trunk
an d limbs were wrapped
separat and the arms were I id
over the chest or alongsid the
body.
Budge explain d that ome­
times the mummies were
covered with a net fblue-gray­
green faience mummy b ads,
many of which urvive in and
near Memphis, aqqarah nd
other cities of Egyp . Finally a
papyru cartonnage w placed
around the mummy and mad
gay with such painted
heirglyphics and symbolic
figure s the Ankh kn wn as
the key of life (ym lizin the
female uterus) r the acred
eye of 0 iri . Lifelike carton­
nage masks P rtrayed the
decc ed.
He id th rna f r yal
mummie were of ld, a in the
case of Tut-ankh-amun. rom
such m ks developed th
anthropoid or hum n headed
coffins. Exten ive religious
ceremonies accompanied
mummificati n.
