Egypt Immortality and Mummification

           Egypt’s people have believed that the good spirits (including all pharohs) go to an afterlife. There the spirit can live on forever. However, before they could send the spirit to the afterlife, they needed to complete a process called mummification. Mummification is when the body’s organs are removed and preserved in jars (excluding the brain). Then once they are dried, the body is rapped in bandages and brought to a tomb in a coffin to be buried. If you were a pharaoh you would have the honor of being buried in a pyramid. There the pyramid would be filled with earthly goods to be enjoyed in the afterlife. That was the highest honor in early Egyptian society.
