Mystical Mummies

     Egyptians believe that people that die go to the afterlife. The afterlife is also known as the field of rushes. King tut was once a egyptian pharoh. His real name was tutinkamen (tootincomen).
     To make a mummy first the eqyptians dehydrate the body. They use natron from wadiel natrun. Then they remove the internal organs. To take out the brain they use a sharp object and slice the head open.
