Many of us might not have
had the opportunity to
visit Egypt, but
you must have
seen pictures of Egyptian mummies and the tombs
that they are
placed in. Some of these tombs are breathtaking
in grandeur. The
Great Pyramid at Giza, one
of the landmarks of Egypt today, is the
tomb of the
Pharaoh (the Egyptian name
for a king) Cheops.
To the
ancient Egyptians, the tomb is the real home
of
a human being and therefore, he works hard
during his whole
lifetime to furnish it comfortably for his
death. When a
rich Egyptian dies,
his body is embalmed with
a huge amount of special herbs and salts to
preserve it. The
body is then placed in a tomb to further protect it
from harsh
weather. The dead man is
buried along with his material
possessions, which are to
provide for his needs in the new world
where he is supposed to go.
Oil, furniture, pottery and copper tools have been
