When we think about Egypt, camels, pyramids, and mummies often come to mind! We think of antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see the great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land, and tours to Christian and other religious monuments are popular.
I think one of the most interesting things that the ancient Egyptian culture used to do is the process mummification. They buried their dead in small pits in the desert. The heat and dryness of the sand dehydrated the bodies quickly, creating lifelike and natural 'mummies'.Later, the ancient Egyptians began burying their dead in coffins to protect them from wild animals in the desert. However, they realised that bodies placed in coffins decayed when they were not exposed to the hot, dry sand of the desert
Over many centuries, the ancient Egyptians developed a method of preserving bodies so they would remain lifelike. The process included embalming the bodies and wrapping them in strips of linen. Today we call this process mummification.

hi!!
Egyptian is very interesting country, because the architecture of pyramids is fantastic, the culture is knows around the word, because the process of mummification is characteristics, and the variety of animals.
I would like to visited Egyptian.
