參考答案:Mummification
Although mummification existed in other cultures, eternal life was the main focus of all Ancient Egyptians, which meant preserving the body forever. The earliest attempts therein were recorded in 3000 B.C. The technique used during this period was minimal and not yet mastered. The body would be sent to an embalming workshop, where embalmers would cut an opening in the abdomen of the body, and as time progressed, the organs were eventually removed (with the exception of the heart) and stored in canopic jars, allowing the body to be more well-preserved as it rested. Also, sometimes embalmers would break the bone behind the nose, and break the brain into little pieces and they would be pulled out via the nose. Then the embalmers would stuff the head with thick plant-based resin or plant resin sawdust. It also wasn’t until the Middle Kingdom that embalmers used natural salts to remove moisture from the body. The salt-like substance natron dried out and preserved more flesh than bone. Once dried, mummies were ritualistically anointed with oils and perfumes. The 21st Dynasty brought forth its most advanced skills in embalming and the mummification process reached its peak. Once preserved, the mummies were laid to rest inside a tomb, where it was believed that the mummy would rest eternally.Mummy heads were sold as souvenirs and displayed in homes during the nineteenth century.
