Archaeologists are Shocked to Discover the Real Reason Behind Mummification

For over a century archaeologists and teachers have taught students that ancient Egyptians mummified their deceased to “preserve” their bodies.
So, imagine the surprise of archaeologists when they discovered that the painstaking elaborate process of mummification was never intended to preserve the bodies of the deceased at all!
If you're having a 'my life is a lie' moment, you're not alone.

Welcome to Crunch History , and today we are crunching the real reason behind the ancient Egyptians' mummification.

I remember more then 3 decades ago on a school field trip going to a museum. Where they had Terracotta Soldiers from China on display and other items on display as well. Afterwards our small class went to a restaurant to eat which served spaghetti and few other things. The thing is the restaurant at one time used to be a old morgue.

This is like common knowledge that even action movies and tv series know. Like for example in the trope where a mummified pharao returns from the dead and tries to kill the main characters

This isn't new information and the presenter sounds like he is speaking to children.

Removing the brain reminds me of covid 19 swabs that were shoved up everyone's nose and into their blood brain barrier.

On the 14th of April I will go live on my youtube channel and will talk about mummification process in English. I will put on the table some things that were never discussed before by anyone and this will be the beginning of a new understanding on "THE CHEMISTRY OF IMMORTALITY". I'm not a chemist, nor a physicist however I have found some very interesting data in linguistic archeology and etymology. You are cordially invited - religious, esoteric, mysterious, non-scientific, metaphysic or any ideologic approach is strictly prohibited.

Funerals today go cremation and a gravesite- years ago one must presume the rich were buried and the poor to the crocodiles- one would use the words of Lawrence of Arabia “ No prisoners- No prisoners: did they bury them? So what makes Egypt any different? Rich can afford burial and the poor couldn’t. The priests like the funeral directors today made the money for the magicians trick- heaven after death. Get away with all your wrongs - so the priests went along with it and gave the rich what they wanted but the dead didn’t expect, it was all a lie.

go to a sandy beach, place 10ton stone and move it with wood piles below it. even 1000 men can t do that... who did?

Love the Dead, not death. If it works == ol, salt Steve

My theory is that those ancient Egyptians would find this nonsense amusing. Rofl kind of amusing.

I think the reason they mummified because the "Gods" (fallen angels) told them there would be a time in the future where they would be able to come back.
Clones of Egyptian King's will not have souls tho.

Fake news. This has been the standard of thinking regarding Egyptian mummies for well over a decade.

It would help if you started referring to the real names and not European names. Ausar, Auset, Heru! Not Osiris, Isis, etc! Jesus is plagiarism from Heru! Teach the real facts!

Let's just jump in the time machine and ask them

😮‍💨 To bad the Romans 🔥 destroyed Alexandria's 🏤 Library.!!!!.
Soo much more of historical factual history 📜, 👀 🤔 ⚗️🧑‍🔬 🔬 📚 🧑‍🏫🧬 could have 📐📏 📝 been 📚 💻 🧑‍⚕️🩺 ⌨️ taught 🖥️🧑‍🎓 today.😞

What these 'story tellers' SHOULD be talking about is who ACTUALLY built the pyramids. Bronze age tools and pounding stones cannot cut andesite OR granite. The Egyptians FOUND the site after an earth shaking cataclysm. and they've claimed it as their own making... YET they cant explain how the megalithic stones were put in place OR how they got such a smooth surface on ALL of the most prized statues ETC ETC

[bogdanpanek]

I got as far as "colonial theory". can't take anymore woke takes.

I can't watch this, the music is awful, too loud, distracting, annoying. 👎 Peace to you
