Mummy

A Mummy is an individual or animal whose body is dried up or otherwise preserved after death. When people think of a Mummy, they often imagine the early Hollywood-era versions of human forms wrapped in layers on the layers of straps, because slowly moving forward the arms expand. Mummy cannot really emerge from her ancient graveyard and attack, but she is quite real and has a fascinating history.

What is Mummy?

The practice of preserving body as a Mummy is widely spread throughout the world and throughout the whole time. Many civilizations- Incan, Australian Aboriginal, Aztec, African, Ancient European and others have practiced some types of Mummification for thousands of years to honor and preserve the bodies of the dead.

Mummification rituals are different by culture, and it is believed that some cultures have reduced all their citizens. Others reserve the passage of passage for the rich or the situation. Since most bacteria cannot grow in extreme temperatures, therefore the sun was a complex way to expose the brain, fire or cold temperature to make a Mummy.

Some mummies were caused by the accident. For example, Guantanamo's crashing Mummy, found in the above ground crepits in Mexico, collected more than 100 Mummy's collections. Those bodies were not indemnified on purpose. It is believed that either rich heat or rich geological stores of the area of sulfur and other minerals have increased the Mummification process.

Some Buddhist monks practiced self-Mummification while eating food items that prevent their body from hunger and promote decay. Once their body fat was finished, they used to drink a poisonous sap for a few more years to create vomiting to get rid of bodily fluids. Poison also created an unsafe future host for the brain-eating bug.

When the time was right, the monks were buried alive to wait for death and Mummification. Death came soon, but self-Mummification rarely used to work.

Mummies of Egyptian

It does not matter how the body was mouthed, the end game was the preservation of the skin tissue as much as possible - and the priests of ancient Egypt are considered experts in this process. The dry climate of Egypt made it easy to reduce dry and brain, but the people of Egypt used a more detailed process to ensure a safe route for later life.

For the royalty and the rich, the migration process was often involved in:

·        body wash

·        Removing all the organs by leaving the heart and keeping them in a jar

·        To remove moisture, pack body and organs in salt

·        Breathing body with resins and essential oils such as mirror, cassia, juniper oil and cedar oil

·        Wrapped ambulated zombies in many layers of linen

The people of ancient Egypt of all areas of life indemnified the members of the deceased family, but this process was not elaborate for the poor. According to Egyptian expert Salima Ikram, some bodies were just full of junior oil to dissolve the limbs before burial.

Pharaoh's Mummy was kept in ornate stone coffins called Sarcophagus. Then they were buried in spacious graves full of everything needed for later life like vehicles, tools, food, liquor, perfumes and household items. Some of Pharaoh was buried with pets and jobs too.

Mummies as Medicine

According to the Abstract of 1927 published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, the medicinal preparations made by powder mummies were popular between twelfth and seventeenth centuries. At that time, countless moms were disintegrated and burned to meet the demand of "Mummy medicine".

Interest in Mummy as medicines was based on the estimated medicinal properties of Birdman, a type of asphalt from the Dead Sea. It was believed that Mummy had a body with bitumen, but was rarely the case; most resins were embalmed with.

Mummies Go Mainstream

Perhaps the most famous Mummy King in modern history is Tutankhamen, commonly known as King Tut. In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered his tomb and mummified body. It was a pleasant pleasure, which was set up so far to cover many untimely deaths.

According to folklore, a Mummy's tomb dies due to harassment. This superstition did not shock Carter, nor prevent him from removing the burial grave. Nevertheless, when many people involved in his campaign died early due to unnatural reasons, the story became sensational by the media, even though the so-called curse saved Carter's life.

With the introduction of Bram Stoker's novel The Jewel of the Seven Star, in the beginning of the 20th century, Mummy was more than the religious symbols of the ancient world, in which she was shown as a supernatural villain. But the 1932 film The Mummy featured a Mummy of Boris Karloff, who made Mummy the mainstream monsters.

Later the films, such as The Mummy's Tomb and The Mummy's Curse, portrayed Mummy as heavy-bonded, mute beings, which they are known as today. Imaginary Mummy cannot feel the pain and, like other horror monsters, it is difficult to kill. The most effective way to send them for permanent death is to set them on fire.
