MummificationAccording to the ancient pharaohs it is believed that mummification was performed because the mummified body is the key for the deceased to reach the afterlife and any mistake leading to the destruction of the body, of the dead person will lose the possibility of reaching the afterlife. (The British Museum, 2007) If a person's body were destroyed, they would lose their ability to gain an afterlife. For this reason, so much effort was made in the mummification process to ensure that the body was well protected, especially for the wealthy pharaohs who paid a large sum of money for the mummification process. (Mummy Burial, 2009) Pharaohs paid so much attention to the mummification process. For example, Khufu, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, spent nearly twenty years building a pyramid as a tomb to protect his mummified body and to ensure that he would arrive peacefully in the afterlife. (Smithsonian, 2012) When a king in ancient Egypt died, a great deal of effort was put into the funeral and mummification process, whereas when poor or middle-class people died, no one cared about their death except his family and a normal funeral. . (KingTutOne.com, 2009)According to the ancient Egyptians, there were six aspects of life. The first is the physical body which is the person's body. The second is the shadow: there is no shadow if there is no physical body. The third is the name that in ancient Egypt was given as soon as the child was born. The fourth is the KA which is the spirit or soul. The fifth is the BA which is the personality. Finally the sixth is AKH which is immorality. In ancient Egypt, you can have all of them as soon as you are born except the AKH which can be obtained after death, if and only... half of the card... woman means she will hit her head in the ground, they grab her hands hair, they cry loudly and sometimes a woman cuts their clothes. (Tomorad, 2009) Others less fortunate have not been able to organize such expensive ceremonies. Instead, most middle-class and poor Egyptian citizens had ordinary funerals. Furthermore, most of their money was used for the mummification process. The mummification process was very important in ancient Egypt. Rich pharaohs cared deeply about their mummification process, their funerals, and their tombs. They did everything they could to get the most beautiful funeral and gravesite. Some of their graves were built with mud bricks or sometimes even stone. However, the poor citizens of ancient Egypt did not have such imaginative funerals as those of the pharaohs. They focused on the mummification process and that's where most of their money went after their deaths.
