What happened when a Pharaoh died?

• When a pharaoh died, the body was preserved by
  people called embalmers.
• Embalmers took the body to the Beautiful House-
  the name of where they worked.
• They removed some of the inner parts of the body
  first. The organs were taken out and stored in
  special containers called canopic jars.
• The heart was left in the body however, so that
  it could be weighed in the afterlife.

• Then they rubbed the body with special ointments
  and wrapped it tightly with bandages.
• When a body had been treated in this way it was
  called a mummy.
• The mummy was put in a coffin. The coffin was the
  same shape as the body, and had a carved ,
  painted face on it.
• A funeral was held by a Priest in the temple.

• The coffin was then taken to the pharaohs tomb.
• The pharaoh was buried with all their
  possessions, for use on the journey to the next
  world.
• The Egyptians believed that mummification
  preserved the body of the deceased and ensured
  their survival forever.
