New mummies found near Luxor, Egypt   (11th
September, 2017)



          

Do you know what is the purpose of a mummy? 

The purpose of the formation of a mummy is : 

a. To preserve every living creature
b. Belief in the existence of the dead
c. For personal gain
d. To preserve corpses
e. The belief that the spirit of the corpse of the deceased will survive if his eyes are not broken.

 Mostly in Egypt, the preserved corpse is the offspring of the kings or is the most influential person. The Egyptians believed that the body was Ka's place of great importance in the aftermath of life. 

Based from breakingnewsenglish.com, 11th September,2017, found a tomb near the city of Luxor on The Nile. The tomb contained 3 mummies, a woman and her two sons. The tomb was approximately 3500 years old. Archaeologists say the tomb belongs to a royal gold pioneer Amenemhat. The condition of the three bodies was still very good. Archaeologists spent 6 years digging this site. Dr. Yousef Khalifa, an archaeologist says that luxor has one third of the world's ancient sites and visitors can enjoy newly discovered sites. He hopes that the discovery of this site can attract visitors and improve the tourism industry of Egypt. Dr. Khaled al Anani (Head of Egyptian Antiquities) hope archaeologists can find other sites.

But for me personally, I prefer to travel elsewhere to enjoy the beautiful beaches, green scenery, and other beautiful things than to watch the mummy which I think is a terrible thing, but it is okay if one day we can visit Egypt to see the mummy, though scary but it will increase our knowledge about the sites in this world as well as we can witness the majesty of God and remind that we will die.
