=__ Horrible Histories-Mummification Process __=

====** Embalmer/Cutter/Scribe: Hello, today I am going to show you how to make an ancient Egyptian mummy. First, grab a dead person. **====

** Citizen: You know the sponge is dry and I am not dead. **
====** Embalmer: Ignore the dead person. Anyway, next you remove the brain with a long, metal hook. **====

** *Embalmer pulls out a wooden stick* **
====** Embalmer: The hook goes up the nose and is thrashed in a mashing motion, to break up the brain. **====

** Citizen: No I’m not. **
====** Embalmer: Oh... Next you make a cut in the left side of the body. Then you pull out the liver, lung, stomach and intestines. **====

** Citizen: I’m bored - Can I leave now? **
====** Embalmer: What? You’re still alive? No, you can’t leave until I finish mummifying you. **==== ====** The organs are placed into four canopic jars. They are Imsety, the human-headed god who looks after the liver, Hapy, the baboon-headed god who looks after the lungs, Duamutef, the jackal-headed god who looks after the stomach and Qebesenuef, the falcon-headed god who looks after the intestines. **==== ====** Citizen: You pronounced them wrong and you aren’t doing a very good job of mummifying me. **====

** *Embalmer stuffs and covers citizen with natron* **
====** Embalmer: Now I will wait for forty days before continuing the mummification process. **====

** The next day **
====** Embalmer: I don’t want to wait for forty days so I only waited one day. **====

** Citizen: Hurray, I will live! By the way the food was plastic. **
====** Embalmer: Oh. I thought it was real. Anyway, next you wrap the mummy. **====

** *Throws cloth on citizen* **
====** Embalmer: Usually you use strips of linen but i’m just going to use a cloth. **====

** *Throws amulets on citizen* **
====** Embalmer: I’m supposed to read spells but I will just give her a scroll. **====

** *wraps citizen* **
====** Embalmer: Now she will go into a coffin for her funeral. My assistant will help me put the deceased into her coffin. **====

** Citizen two: What’s that? **
====** Embalmer: Ignore the dead person and lets get on with the funeral. Assistant please take the dead person to the sarcophagus in the tomb. **====

** *Embalmer knocks over citizen two* **
====** Embalmer: Look it’s another dead person! Lets start by removing the brain... **====
