I read a book “mummies made in Egypt”. I saw mummies in the
British museum a few years ago. I knew that mummy was made without organs. I
also know why they made the mummy. I remember that some mummies which I saw in England
were very colorful. But some mummies which was made naturally were not
colorful. Yes. Colorful mummies were high level person. Did the family satisfied with colorful mummies?
I didn’t know that how to remove brain. It was a shock that a
brain of corpse was removed through the nostrils with metal hooks. For a period, time mummies were buried on
their sides, so that they could look out of the eyes painted on the wooden
coffin.
The most interesting thing are ‘ba’ and ‘ka’. A ba means a soul.
A ka means an invisible twin of the person. A ba is familiar with a common concept.
But a ka isn’t familiar with concepts.
It was one of the most serious punishment that a dead person’s
body was cut in ancient Korean culture. I think that a person who became the mummy
was not so happy when he saw his body was treated like that.
