The Mummification Process
Loading...
Uploaded by gettymuseum on Aug 18, 2009
The ancient Egyptians developed a sophisticated method to preserve a dead body for the afterlife: mummification. First, the internal organs were removed and all moisture from the body was eliminated. Next, the body was wrapped with long strips of linen, and then covered with a large linen cloth. Follow the steps of the mummification process in this short animation about the Getty Museum's Romano-Egyptian mummy Herakleides.

@TayTayC401 Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 332 BCE. Technically he and his army were Macedonians but they spoke Greek and lived a Greek lifestyle. The Ptolemaic ("Greek") line of pharaohs were Alexander's legacy. Some 300 years later, in 31 BCE, Octavian (Augustus) conquered Cleopatra VII and Marc Antony at the battle of Actium, near Greece, and Rome then ruled Egypt for several centuries.
