Are the mummies in the pyramids really as magical as the legends say?

Nowadays, books and film and television works are a bit apocryphal and deductive!

It can't be regarded as too magical, but their corpse embalming technology is what everyone praises and confuses, so it makes everyone feel more magical, allowing people to have infinite reverie, and at the same time reverie produces a lot of bizarre and eccentric ideas, and then when combined with commercial elements, so much eye-catching content appears.

It shouldn't be, but there will definitely be his magical, mysterious place, just like we have a lot of legends in China, which we have to believe. In the same way, they are also ancient countries, and they will have a lot of ancient mysteries.

There should be an exaggeration in it, after all, there are many mysterious things in ancient countries that cannot be explained now.

Mummies like Egypt are not only found, but also in many other places around the world. For example, the female corpse of Mawangdui in China, the mountain mummy of the Incas, the corpse of the soap woman listed in the Matt Medical Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and so on!

Of course it's not that magical.

Researchers at A&M University's School of Earth Sciences, Marlon Kennecutt, Monku Kim, and Qian Yaorong, together with their counterparts at Alexandria University, found that thousands of years ago, Egyptians mummified corpses with tar extracted from oil from the Middle East, thus preventing them from decomposing and preserving them forever.

It is also said that mummies are corpses that have been preserved by applying spices.

It's just a technology.

The pyramids are one of the representatives of the ancient Egyptian civilization, not only for their magnificent architectural shapes, but also for their mysteries that have attracted worldwide attention. And the question of whether there are mummies in the pyramid is even more interesting.

In ancient Egypt, the pyramids were used as tombs for pharaohs, meaning that all the remains or relics of the rulers were buried in them. Therefore, many people will wonder, will there be mummies in these tombs?

In fact, many of the pyramids do contain mummies. During the construction of the pyramids, workers would mummify the bodies of pharaohs so that they could be preserved for future use. These mummies not only contain the remains of pharaohs, but also pharaohs' families, nobles, and other important figures.

They are kept in a chamber or crypt so that they can be preserved permanently.

However, there are a few pyramids where no mummies have been found. This is most likely because the body has been lost or stolen over the course of history. In ancient Egypt, tomb robbers were common, and they went specifically to find the wealth and remains in the pyramids.

As a result, on many ancient architectural sites, some stolen burial chambers can be seen.

In general, the answer to the question of whether there are mummies in the pyramids is "some have, some don't". However, whether or not they were found in the pyramids, mummies are one of the iconic artifacts of ancient Egyptian civilization, and their discovery provides valuable information for us to understand the history and culture of ancient Egypt.

Hello dear! The mummies in the pyramids were stolen by looters in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the end of the 19th century, the Egyptian archaeologist Carmel Lever carried out a second archaeological examination of Glasser Potter and chose certain mummies to remain in the Great Dome, which was called Potter's Chamber.

Porter's third archaeological expedition reopened the pyramids in Egypt, so more mummies were taken away. continued to increase the number of looters and stolen goods at the beginning of the 20th century. The 20th-century criminals of the 20th century were particularly surprising because of the large number of mummies used in various art and cultural collections.

Extreme and thoroughly, in the 80s of the 20th century, at least two archaeologists of the country were accused of crimes related to the looting of mummies. The country has also taken active action to stop the theft of pyramid art and artefacts, and has enforced strict policing; On the other hand, it is still quite a onerous task to send these stolen goods back to Duan Tang Egypt from overseas.

There are mummies in the Egyptian pyramids.

Mummies are artificial corpses, while pyramids are tombs built in ancient Egypt and placed in pyramids after the death of the ruler Pharaoh.

The ancient Egyptians believed that after death, their souls would not die, but would still be attached to the corpse or statue, so after the pharaohs died, they were made into mummies, as a method of immortalizing the dead or embalming the corpse with sesame oil (or medicine), and the mummy of ancient Egypt was the most famous. The ancient Egyptians buried their corpses with embalming spices. Show respect for the deceased.

Of course, the word mummy derives from the Arabic word mummiya, meaning asphalt, because when the mummy was first discovered, the linen that wrapped around the body had turned black, making it mistaken for asphalt on the carcass. Mummies refer to corpses that can be preserved for a long time by means of artificial embalming. The ancient Egyptians believed that after death, people must be judged by the souls of the gods, and those who pass the judgment can be resurrected, so they must have a complete body after death, otherwise the resurrected soul will have nothing to attach to.

Based on the belief in the resurrection of the dead, the ancient Egyptians had a very particular set of procedures for the preservation of corpses and funeral rites. First, the medical treatment of the corpse. That is, to hollow out the most perishable internal organs, the general practice is to make an incision on the left side of the corpse, and take out all the internal organs such as liver, lungs, and intestines; The brain cord of the deceased must also be removed from the nostrils through the ethmoid bone.

But the heart must be preserved, because the ancient Egyptians believed that the heart, the organ of thinking and understanding, must remain in the body. Secondly, the internal organs and body cavities are separately embalmed. After the mummifier takes the organs out of the body, they absorb the water from the organs with table salt, soak them in cooking oil or liquid rosin, and then use a jar called Capinock to preserve them and bury them in a mausoleum.

For the disinfected body cavity, first fill in the bubble soda and other temporary fillers wrapped in cloth, and then put it in the dry bubble soda powder for about 40 days, after the water is removed, take out the filler inside, and replace it with crushed cinnamon and bubble soda. Finally, the incision was carefully sewn and the skin of the eye of Horus was attached, as the ancient Egyptians believed that this skin had powerful healing and protective powers. Thirdly, applying a thick ointment and rosin solution to the treated corpse to prevent the corpse from coming into direct contact with the air can resist naturally occurring chemical effects.

Then, wrap the fingers, palms, feet, and torso in turn with white linen. The deceased's nose was sometimes damaged by the extraction of the brain marrow, so he was fitted with a wooden false nose. An artificial eyeball is also placed in the eye socket.

The final procedure is to place the deceased's hands crossed over his chest, place them in the coffin, and sometimes add another coffin sleeve on the outside. By the late second middle period (c. 1600 BC), mummified coffins developed into painted humanoid coffins. The production cycle for a mummy is about 70 days.

Absolutely! The ancient Egyptians, like us Chinese, attached great importance to tombs, they believed that death was actually another beginning of life, in order to allow themselves to live a noble life in the underworld, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs built magnificent pyramids as their own shelter after death. In order to immortalize their souls, the ancient Egyptians would mummify their bodies after death so that they could continue to reside on them.

After the pharaohs died, their bodies were mummified and placed in the pyramids.

However, now, in order to be visited by tourists and preserved, many of the pharaoh's mummies have been "invited" to various museums, so there should be no mummies in the pyramids now.

The pyramid dug up the mummy again, and his expression was distorted as if he was suffering, was it really an ancient Egyptian prince?

Brother, how many questions did you ask the same question......

Yes. The pyramid is the mausoleum of the people......
