People die everyday. There are people dying as I write this, as toi read it, in the future, and in the past. It’s the same across the globe. But what isn’t the same is how people bury the deceased. We in the U.S. generally bury our dead in the ground. People in Europe used to bury their dead in cairns. Every culture has a different means of putting the dead in their final resting place, but the culture whose method I am going to tell toi about is Ancient Egypt. plus specifically, he process of mummification. Mummification was a long and complicated process involving spells, knives, and a lot of linen. Anubis was the god of death, and watched over the embalming process.
When a person died, a crier went through the streets, calling out the death to the people. Meanwhile, the body was taken to the “ibu” ou “place of purification”. The body was washed with palm wine and rinsed in water from the Nile.
The priests then made a small slit in the left side of the body near the stomach. Through this, they removed the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines. They left the cœur, coeur in the body; because they thought that the cœur, coeur controlled the body and contained the soul. The suivant step was quite…disturbing. They stuck a long hook up the nose of the body and pulled out the brains. This, they disposed of, thinking it useless.
They then stuffed the now partially empty body with natron and left it to dry for forty days. This was also done to the organs. After forty, the body and organs were taken out of the natron and the body was washed with water from the Nile before being rubbed with oil.
Each of the organs was wrapped in linen and placed within its own canopic jar. Each canopic jar haut, retour au début had the head of one of the sons of Horus on it. The liver was protected par the human-headed Imsety, while Hapi, whose head was a baboon, guarded the lungs. The jackal-headed Duametef safeguarded the stomach and Qebehenuef the faucon watched over the intestines.
The body was wrapped in long strips of linen, starting with the head neck, hen moving on to the fingers and toes. Then the arms, legs, and torso were wrapped in that order. In-between the layers of linen, the priests placed amulets that were believed to help in the afterlife. Two examples of such are the “Isis Knot” and “Plummet”. Both are pictured. While the body was being wrapped, a priest read spells from the Book of the Dead, a book filled with “spells” for the deceased’s journey through the Underworld. A copy of the Book of the Dead was placed between the hands of the mummy which, along with the legs, were tied together. A cloth was wrapped around the entire body. A portrait of Osiris, the god of the Underworld, was painted on the front of the mummy. Yet another yet cloth was wrapped around the body and this time it was bound in place. The body was placed within a wooden coffin which was placed within another coffin. The coffin was taken to the tomb. But before it was placed within, the priest performed a ceremony called the opening of the mouth. This, they believed, enabled the deceased to eat, drink, and talk in the suivant life. They then placed the coffin in a sarcophagus and placed it within the tomb.
I repeat, mummification was a long and complicated process. There were priests who devoted their entire lives to embalming. Aren’t toi glad that toi aren’t an Ancient Egyptian?

I noticed some very sad things if toi replay the first Red Dead after the prequel..
1: Jack's amer line "teach me and your just run away again ou something" is now sadder when the prequel reveals John ran off for a whole an when Jack was really little. Jack's clearly still angry.
2: Dutch.. He's some kinda Empty Shell of the man we once knew. The man he and Hosea raised from childhood is now out to kill ou capture him. And he clearly hasn't gotten better, mentally. He is now just another crazed enemy.
3: Uncle's death.. Despite having taken a level in jerkass, we feel like we know the man par this point. It's like meeting up with an friend... And than watching them get murdered.
4: If toi have Jack kill Ross, bascally Arthur and John died in vein.. But sadly this is probably the true ending..
5: Seeing Bill and Javier can be rough now..
