Ancient Egypt:
The first capital was Memphis
Egyptians were one of the first people to write on paper called papyrus.
A mummy’s organs were placed in 4 canopic jars & placed inside the tomb. (Stomach, lungs, liver, & intestines.)
Many pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings to prevent tomb raiders from stealing the treasures.
The Book of the Dead was placed inside the tomb & its spells allowed the soul or “ka” to travel in and out of the tomb.
The final judgment came when the heart was placed on a scale with a feather by Anubis. If the heart was light as the feather they may pass on into paradise.
