HISTORY

How ancient Egyptians make a mummy

1 Listen and write.

Here are the instructions for how to make a mummy.

Wash the body in Nile water. Take out the organs.

Wash the liver, lungs, intestines and stomach. Put them in canopic jars.

Canopic jars are special containers for the organs.

Put the heart back in the body. The heart is the centre of intelligence and of the soul.

Each canopic jar has a lid with the head of a god.

Hapi is the god with a baboon head.

It represents the north. This jar contains the lungs.

Duamutef is the god with a jackal head.

It represents the east. This jar contains the stomach.

Imsety is the god with a human head.

It represents the south. This jar contains the liver.

Qebehsenuef is the god with a falcon head.

It represents the west. This jar contains the intestines.

Now fill the body with spices and plants. Wrap the body in linen bandages. Put lucky amulets under the bandages and say spells to activate their magical powers.

Egyptian history is fantastic!

Cover the body with a special salt called natron. After forty days the body is completely dry.

Now put the mummy in a coffin. Then put the coffin in another coffin, and that coffin in another coffin. Then put it in a secret room inside a pyramid.
