Mummification

Hi Readers,

Egypt, a place where all mystery lies in the pyramid and sands. In these pyramids lies a bunch of freaky old kings and queen who are officially known as "Mummies". Like Egyptian children, I am also confused that how Egyptian daddies turn into mummies after death but that we should not get involve in this as this is their family matter. But more than this mummy daddy situation the more attractive thing is that how are these mummies created. I usually think that my mummy should be created after my death and should be called as “ The MY”. The name is good as it will not change gender like Egyptian mummies.

The thing is that is it possible to create a home made mummy of one self. Yes I think its possible but if we follow classical Egyptian style of mummification then its totally painful as you need to take out your brain, and other organs except your heart, to preserve your body for a long time. But is there a easy way to do this at home? Yes there is a way. I would say not to try it right now, you can note down the steps and write it in your will so that you can be mummified later if your will is followed and no one thinks you a crack of mind.

Well the first step is to wash your the body with anti-bacterial liquid and with water. You can remove your organs and donate them (don't forget to mention this in your will, its a social service). Then again stitch back all the wounds. Again wash your body with anti-bacterial liquid and with water. Dehydrate your body in the sun to remove moisture and then cover your body with oil better to use pickle oil as it is anti bacterial and will preserve your body for long time. Now wrap the body completely using silk cloth or linen for rich people or toilet papers in case you don't have enough money. The important part part here is that you wrap each part individually that is to say wrap fingers individually and then palm, once each of this individual wrapping is done again wrap the whole body with single cloth. Once done put your body in a coffin and enjoy as you been mummified.

I hope this baby steps to create a mummy out of you would be appreciated by all. Awaiting your comments.

Thanks
