Chapter 780 (1/2)

Mummy is one of the symbolic totems of ancient Egypt. It is painted on the face with melted turpentine after death to protect the face image.

Then deal with the brain. The craftsmen will use a chisel to insert it from the left nostril, smash the ethmoid bone, make the tool rotate in the brain and destroy the brain marrow. Finally, they reach into the nostril with a small long handle spoon and scoop out all the brain pulp in the skull.

After cleaning, put some antiseptic drugs and spices into the skull to fill it. This is the first step.

Then a skilled craftsman planed open the victim's abdomen and took out his internal organs. The stomach, intestines, liver and lungs are cleaned with brown oil, and the thorax and abdominal cavity are cleaned.

The removed organs will not be discarded. Instead, they will be neatly wrapped in turpentine balls and put into small cans with gold covers prepared in advance. Then put the cans in the abdomen of the dead and sew the opening again.

After the body has completed most of the mummification, the next step is the most important dehydration and drying link, which is very important.

The mummiers will put cloth bags filled with alkali and some temporary fillers that can absorb water into the body for 40 days. After the body is drained of water,

They took out the filler, put crushed cinnamon, foam alkali, sawdust and other things back into the cloth bag, put it in the body, carefully sew the incision, and stick a piece of skin with Horus eyes to show that it was a success.

The ancient Egyptians believed that this kind of leather with Horus eyes had a strong healing force and protective ability, which could make people come back to life one day after they became mummies.

In order to keep the mummy's skin soft, people will coat the mummy's skin with a mixture of milk, wine, spices, honey, rosin, tar and so on before winding the white cloth.

The mummy's eyes will be filled with linen and stone, and finally wrapped with a layer of rosin to prevent moisture. On his head, he will wear a braided wig cover and jewelry.

The last step is to wrap the whole body of the dried corpse with linen belt, without leaking a gap from head to foot. In this way, a mummy with the highest technology is successfully completed.

However, such a craft that has been handed down from generation to generation in ancient Egypt has undergone some great changes in the generation of Pharaoh utsekaf.

He and his team of magicians from the people, taking mummies as the mother, inadvertently developed a liquid that can restore the mobility of dead mummies,

Just like a walking corpse, wanton activities can also make the living people who are exposed to this liquid lose their mind and become a madman who has no consciousness and will only attack people indiscriminately.

In ancient Egypt at that time, Uther Kafu called this liquid ”water of the underworld”, which meant to revive the dead and let the living die.

The developed water of the underworld was collected in several large vessels and bottles, which were taken over and preserved by the next Pharaoh from generation to generation.
