The Egyptian process of embalming‚ or mummification‚ is very interesting. Using special processes‚ the Egyptians would drain the moisture from the dead body‚ leaving a dried out carcass that would not easily decay.

So successful were they that you can look at the body of a 3000-year-old mummy and have a good idea of what they looked like. This is what you will learn‚ and more‚ in the rest of my report. Enjoy!

If I could chose to live in any culture it would be Ancient Egypt. I have always been interested by the Ancient Egyptians and their ability to make pyramids. I find it really interesting how they were able to build pyramids of that size and style‚ especially so early on in human history. It is also interesting how they were able to make the pyramids in such a short amount of time. While it took about twenty years for the Great Pyramid of Giza to be built‚ it often took only ten years for the majority
