the bandages.
The Bandaging
The bandages were
about 20 layers of
linen.
The Egyptians used
Resin to glue the linen
together.
The fingers and toes
were sometimes
wrapped separately.
Gold, Jewels, and Protective Amulets
Before the bandaging
the Egyptians
adorned their dead
with gold, jewels, and
protective amulets.
They also wrote prayers
on the bandages.

The Prayers
They had priests at the
ceremonies to pray.
They had women called
mourners to sob and
throw dust all over
themselves to show
their grief and agony.
“Mummy”
“Mummy” comes from the Persian
word Mumai, meaning tar.
The Europeans went over to Egypt
and thought the Resin the were
using was tar, so they called
them mummies.
Types of Mummies
The “poor” mummies only got
soaked with Natron.
The “average” mummies were
bandaged.
The “rich” mummies were
bandaged AND had either a
thin sheet of gold or a solid
gold mask.
THE
AFTERLIFE
The Egyptians believed in a life after death.
They thought that if a person died and a body
decayed, they wouldn’t go to the after-life.
Pharaoh's had a more magnificent burial to the afterlife.
