Mummy

A mummy is a corpse whose skin and organs have been preserved by chemicals, extreme coldness, very low humidity, or lack of air when bodies are submerged in bogs. At the present, the oldest discovered ( naturally ) mummified human corpse was separated head. They are 6,000 years old and was found in 1936. The most famous Egyptian mummies are Seti I and Rameses II ( 13th century BC). In the earliest 13th centuries there is one of the Egyptian mummy, nicknamed 'Ginger' for its hair colour, dayes back to approximately 3300 BC.



Mummies of humans and other animals have been found all around the world. Over one million animal mummies have been found in Egypt, many of them are cats. It takes 70 days to burry them and finish doing all of their work.

Pyramids and mummies used thousands of labors, who sacrificed themselves for their Gods or their Emperors, to build and took a long time to finish. I think these things are gorgeous and marvelous. It is not right to see these as silly, terrible, or useless things because these things can tell us how powerful human were in the antiquity.
