Egyptian Mummification

Egyptians mummified both animal or human.Mummification is the preservation of a body. Some mummies are preserved wet, some are frozen, and some are dried. The Egypt climate lent itself well to the mummification process, being both very hot and dry. The first step in putting together a modern mummy was to gather the tools and ingredients that would be needed for the process. The Egyptians mummified their dead because they Egyptians believed that there were six important aspects that made up a human being: the physical body, shadow, name, spirit, personality, and the immortality. Each one of these elements played an important role in the well being of an individual. Each was necessary to achieve rebirth into the afterlife.
