Three thousand years before the body of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, or King Tut embalming oil rubbed and wrapped in linen, and then rested in the tomb of treasures of gold, the Egyptians in prehistoric times have been longing for eternity in the afterlife. They are suspected of conducting experiments to preserve the corpse. With their own concoctions.Scientists initially suspected of making mummies began in Egypt around 2600 BC, during the era of complex construction the Pyramids of Giza, or the era known as the Old Kingdom.
But now experts say they found traces of embalming older on the shroud is kept in a museum for 100 years, after it was excavated from sites along the Nile Valley.
The Linen peeled from the bodies buried at the site and Mostagedda Badari in Egypt during the Neolithic period and predynastic End, between 4500 BC and 3100 BC. Archaeologists first discovered the tomb during an expedition liang British team in the region in the 1920s.
The harsh environment may inspire the mummification process. Because Egypt is a dry place, it rarely rains, sometimes the bodies are buried mummified naturally. Residents at that time like the idea that their bodies would be preserved forever and they believe that this will be useful in the grave.
However, based on the latest research, published on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 in the journal PLoS ONE, the Egyptians in the era of embalming herb cooking made from a mixture of animal fat, tree resin and plant extracts containing powerful antibacterial ingredient. Not the natural mummies.
"Recent studies underscore the great potential of the museum's collection collected a century ago, related to its potential to give us new insights into the past," said Alice Stevenson, curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College
