Mummification
I think it's cool how the ancient Egyptians used to mummify their dead. They take out the heart and wrap it up and replace it. The other organs are put in coptic jars. They used a hot hook and put it up the nose to take the brain out. They wrap up the body in linens and other stuff. When they are done they put a golden mask on the face and put the body in a sarcophagus. That gets put in another wooden coffin, which is put in another coffin. I think they paint the face on one or both coffins. They put the coffin in the tomb in the pyramid and make booby traps so no one can steal the treasures or the mummy. Sometimes they bury favorite servants with the mummy. They also bury food in there so that the mummy can eat when he comes to life again.
