everything about tombs and mummies.


Important Ancient Egyptians were mummified when they died. A hook was stuck up the body's nose and the brain was pulled out. Then they took the internal organs out and put them in special jars. - these were called canopic jars, and each was named after a god: Horus, Amun Re, Tawaret and Anubis.Then they wrapped the body in bandages and put it in a tomb.
   

The Egyptians used pyramids in the Old Kingdom and underground tombs in the New Kingdom. The Great pyramid had a chamber for the kings, a chamber for the queens, an empty chamber and a hidden entrance.
 


The underground tombs can be found in the Valley of the
Kings and Queens near Luxor.
The tomb of Tutankhamun is the most famous tomb from Ancient Egypt because it still had almost all the treasures in it. All of the other tombs had been robbed.
