About this product
Product Information
What happens to people after they die? This is the mystery that's puzzled humankind throughout the ages. The ancient Egyptians believed that a dead person's spirit could live forever, if the body could be protected from decay. So they began to mummify their dead. The first mummies were created by nature, as bodies buried in shallow sandpit graves were preserved by drying under the desert sun. Later, the Egyptians discovered new methods of mummification, suitable for preserving kings and nobles. They also perfected their afterlife dwelling places. Burial pits consisting of crude floors and ceilings evolved into the largest tombs known-the great pyramids. And since spirits might wish to eat, drink, and be wealthy far into eternity, prosperous Egyptians were also buried with food, favorite household items, and rich treasure. Lila Perl's fascinating and thorough account of the Egyptian way of death will be certain to fire up the imaginations of readers of all ages. Tomb robbers, souvenir hunters, and the fad for grinding up mummies to make a medicinal powder cheated the Egyptians of their means to an afterlife. Even so, some of their best-preserved mummified bodies, elaborately decorated tombs, and treasures of rare beauty have survived and are with us today. Book jacket.
