I KNEW THAT , THEY PULLED THEBRAIN OUT OF THE PERSON, BUT I THOUGHT THAT THEY PULLED IT OUT OF THEI EARS, AND NOT THEIR NOSE. I REALLY ENJOYED THE ASSIGNMENT, BECUASE IT TAUGHT ME ALOT.

I learned about the mummification process. I didn't know that they put natron salt on the body to dry it out. I learned that they rubbed the skin with oils to make it softer. And they stuffed the body with rags and sawdust. I thought it was kind of gross that they pulled their brain out through their nose!! This assignment was fun.
