3/5 Class

Today in class we reviewed for our test this is what we learned. When a person was a mummified they would put salt over the body and let it sit out for fourty days so all the moisture would go away. Then they would put two coats of something that was like glue and then wrap the body three to four times. And put hieroglyphics on the body that would say your name and other things for life. We leaned that pyramids were stone tombs that would have the pharaohs bodies in them and they would be stored there forever. Also they were covered in marble and in the muslim conquest it was stripped off. But I have a question did the pharaoh or pharaohs during the time were they were building the pyramid were did they store the bodies did they store them in the pyramid that was not finished. Or did they store there somewhere else.
