Scientific Miracles Of The Holy Quran - Preservation of pharaoh's body in the time of prophet Moses peace and blessing be upon him, Red Sea Egypt - By Ex Christian Minister Yusuf Estes Mummification is the preservation of the body of a dead person or animal. The Egyptians were absolute masters at this craft. It not known exactly when this practice first began, but there is evidence dating back to the Pre-Dynastic Period showing bodies in fetal positions placed in shallow graves or tombs and mummified by the sand, intense sun and heat. During the New Kingdom is when the art is truly perfected as shown by the picture of Ramesses II.
The process of mummification is complex. There are actually 70 steps which need to be carried out over 70 days. The main stages are as follows:
1) Removal of the brain through the nostrils
2) Removal of the intestines through an incision in the side
3) Sterilization of the body and intestines
4) Treating, cleaning, dehydrating the intestines
5) Packing the body with natron (a natural dehydrating agent) and leaving for 40 days
6) Removal of the natron agent
7) Packing the limbs with clay or sand
8) Packing the body with linen (soaked in resin), myrrh and cinnamon
9) Treating the body with ointments and finally wrapping with a fine linen gauze, not less than 1000 square yards
Finally the body or mummy was placed in a coffin, usually in the shape of the corpse. Sometimes several coffins were placed one inside the other, and then these were in turn placed inside a stone sarcophagus. The internal organs, such as the stomach, intestines, and liver were mummified as well and then placed in canopic jars made of alabaster. The jars were then placed near the sarcophagus in the tomb or in some cases between the legs of the mummy itself. The process of mummification was usually for the wealthy such as royalty, nobles, or scribes. The poorer people merely wrapped their deceased in linen and placed in shallow graves in the sand. In the great museum of Egyptian antiquities in Cairo, throngs of curious sightseers daily look into the very faces of the pharaohs and nobles who ruled Egypt many centuries ago. The ancient Egyptians were preserved as mummies, or embalmed bodies, thousands of which have been taken from the sands and tombs of Egypt. The Egyptians practiced the art of mummifying their dead for 3,000 years or more in the belief that the soul would someday return to the body and occupy it again. The bodies were preserved by the use of resin and spices or sometimes by immersion in a solution of salt or natron. After a period of preparation that took about 70 days, they were wrapped in linen. Then the shrouded mummy was usually placed in two cases of cedar or of cloth stiffened with glue. The outer case was often covered with paintings and hieroglyphics telling of the life and various deeds of the deceased. A molded mask of the dead or a portrait on linen or wood sometimes decorated the head end of the case. This double case was placed in an oblong coffin and deposited in a sarcophagus. The bodies of poorer people were merely dried with salt and wrapped with coarse cloths. Sacred animals, particularly cats, were also mummified. During the Middle Ages apothecary shops sold a powder that was made from ancient mummies. At that time the substance was considered to have medicinal value. The Egyptians excelled in this art of preserving the body in a lifelike condition, but mummy making was practiced also in Peru and Mexico. The most carefully prepared Egyptian mummies date from about 1000 BC, but the earliest ones discovered are much older.

  • any proof, couse there's millions of facts proving Jewdiusem was distorted by Satanists from babylon, but not 1 single fact proving that this Nobel book the Quran is not the word of God Allah the Lord and king of the heavens and Earth :) InshAllah you'll revert to Islam my friend the real religion of Moses, david, solomon, Jaccob, Ibraham, Yussuf, Jessus, issac, ismael, jesus and Mohammad peace & blessings be upon our beloved prophets the good servents of the Lord Allah :)

  • @villatorom People like you dont deserve answers because you will only deny it, many before you only found answers after they took interest in islam through pure sincerity. With your attitude there is no use. Goodbye.

  • @ villatorom While praying muslim's are facing towards the direction of kaba,it can be east,west or any direction according to the country where we are living .we are not praying to any black stone,the black stone is "hajarul aswad",it is best considered simply as a marker, useful in keeping count of the the" tawaf".

  • @Murder6Da6devil6Bush You can't make the blind see or the deaf hear, anyone is able to recognize the truth, only if he/she wanted so

    May Allah bless you all, Peace

  • @villatorom go to the imam..all of ur question will be answered...not only just that u can ask all the acussasion and misconseption about islam.i meant why islam allow 2 marry 4 wife,allow to hit the wife and many more negative perception about islam.in islam u can ask everything u want to know..n u might be shocked to hear d answer...god bless u...

  • What kind of bullshit is this? No Moses? There was no slavery? If Islam is true, why face the east to pray to a piece of black rock that fell from space? Isn't that rock supposed to come alive in the last day and put a "mark" on Islam's believers so that they would go to heaven? Sounds pretty suspicious to me, deny Jesus, pray to a rock, get a mark on my forehead. Oh, and I forgot, marry a six year old girl because I'm a prophet and can do whatever I please. Islam is of the devil!

  • LMFAO

  • 00:45 It is stated that Ramses II did not have his organs removed and is not a mummy. Page 88 of "Ramses II: Egyption Pharaoh, Warrior and Builder" by S. Fitzgerald contradicts this statement. Could you please cite original sources for the claim made in this video?

  • @timeforthecryme precisely my point

  • @TheTrueMetal9 Allah created us, gave us the ability to see right from wrong AND also showed us the right way that he wants us to follow.

  • @timeforthecryme God made us into sapient beings. it would be crazy if god had made us without instilling the concept of what is generally good or bad. I believe god has left us in this world to be evaluated on who truly deserves to go to heaven and who will burn. We are God's children but he also knows that we truly know what is good and bad. Why else would we punish others for rape, murder, burglary, or any other forms of corruption? We all have our beliefs, and this is mine
