Observing Mummies

Decent Essays
Scientific advancements from studying mummies, or preserved bodies, play a significant role in our knowledge of history. Mummies give us a better insight to the cultures, traditions, and beliefs of ancient civilizations. Many people believe that mummies only derive from Egypt, but they actually come from countries all around the world, such as Europe, South America, Africa, and the South Pacific. Scientific advancements have allowed archaeologists to safely study and conduct experiments on mummies without causing any damage to them. Therefore, I believe that observing mummies in museum exhibits is not immoral or unethical. Mummies were buried in individualized tombs with clothing, jewelry, and other personal artifacts, such as gold, dishes,

    The Astonishing Tombs of Sipán Around 100 to 800 A.D., there was an ancient civilization that thrived on the north coast of Peru. This ancient civilization was called “Moche”.

    By understanding how animals were processed, we can tell the difference between animal burials versus natural deposits. Because bones can give us so much information, they became the forefront of archaeological research once New Archaeology replaced the culture history era of American Archaeology. However, it was important that archaeologists had unambiguous references to compare skeletal elements too. By having reference collections to compare to, we were not only able to identify skeletal elements found, but also learn more about important osteological landmarks that vary between the various…

    When looking at the three cultures of the Moche, the Qin, and the Egyptians, it is clear to see that these cultures hold a strong belief in the afterlife. As archaeological evidence has shown, many special burials of ancient leaders were buried with artifacts.

    Burial traditions vary across time and space. Looking at societies in similar stages of development, trends in how individuals of various statuses are buried become visible. In looking at a few of the Mississippian cultures and the famous tombs of King Tutankhamen and The Death Pit at Ur, one can explore how these trends and differences appear. Additionally, these case studies can be used to examine larger issues within the field of archeology -- such as looting and preservation -- and to explore missteps in previous excavations in order to prevent those mistakes in the future. Mississippian burials are very modest in comparison to the graves found in Ur and in Egypt, representative of how the Mississippians were at a different stage…

    Throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, I made a promise to the Numenii to become an archaeologist. My last night in Italy, I stayed awake listening to Florence's Duomo and I knew there was no other option. Living an ocean away from what I love is difficult. I can get close, but never close enough. After reading about the bog bodies of Northern Europe, I wanted to understand bog mummification.…

    Upon investigation, Tello concluded the Paracas culture used an artificial preservation technique that he formulated because of a suspected carbonization of the bundles. Tello inferred that there was a form of incineration that the Paracas people used in their preservation (Guillén 2004) and concluded that this may have been ceremonial or accidental. Yet, in a study by Yacovleff and Muelle, they argue that mummification was caused by natural desiccation (Vreeland Jr 1998). They cite the aridity of the environment as a reason not to have to artificially mummify. The external wrappings around the corpses were held tight with a combination of salty seawater and sun exposure (Guillén 2004).…

    In the Egyptian exhibit at the Carnegie Museum, mummification practices express Hertz’s idea of death as a reflection of a tear in the fabric of society. When a person in any civilization dies, it is evident that the social, emotional, legal, and financial responsibilities of the deceased are relocated and adjusted to the living. Since the dead do not bury themselves, the living perform and act out burial practices to memorialize and reflect the legacy and social status of the deceased. Mummification is a kind of embalming process that preserves the body before arriving into the afterlife. In Egypt, kings or high status elites were seen to be mummified and buried in elaborate ways which shows a strong desire to secure and preserve in…

    Early Chinese civilization after death rituals and beliefs were very different than our rituals today. The Chinese believed that “Divining a tomb site is aimed at discovering the excellence of the land….When the land is excellent, the spirits will be comfortable and the descendants will flourish,” as said by Master Cheng. So as you can infer the burial sites were extravagant and filled with “grave goods”. In the next few pages we will be exploring the ancient Chinese burial rituals and after death beliefs.…

    Egyptian Afterlife

    • 490 Words
    • 2 Pages

    No other ancient civilization is as closely associated with its burial rites as that of Egyptian. Dated as early as 4000 BCE to 30 CE, Egyptian mortuary rituals have evolved over the years, but the perpetual emphasis on the eternal afterlife in the coveted destination that all ancient Egyptians strived to reach: The Field of Reeds, the Egyptian paradise, did not change. Many theories have argued that the ancient Egyptians were obsessed with death, whereas in fact it displayed an obsession with life and its continuation. This paper seeks to justify the Egyptian perception of afterlife as an eternal mirror image of one's life on earth; Egyptian’s earthly life was not, however, merely a prologue to something greater after death but was a part of the entire remarkable journey as a whole. The ancient Egyptian believed the deceased should be…

    During the Ancient Egyptian era, members of the community took the time to ensure that those who were important during their period of existence were paid proper respects after they had passed away. Considering that the kings and high rulers were not satisfied with simply being placed in the ground like the common Egyptian at the time, they sought out to enhance the burial techniques for those of importance. (“Burial Practice, Afterlife, and Mummies,” 2014) One of the most popular examples of the evolution of their burial practices was discovered in the early 1900’s, when the tomb of King Tutankhamun was unearthed. Not only did this discovery prove that social significance played a major part in how you were treated after you died, but it revealed a whole new world of information that helped depict exactly how these rulers and kings were laid to rest.…
