Burial rituals

THE FUNERAL OF RAMOSE

Currently when an Egyptian dies, women express their grief in a surprising way that attracts the attention of men who put up more and do the same thing . I discovered the explanation, this comes from the Pharaonic era that women did the same when there was a dead.It is a tradition; inherited from thousands of years.The woman hits her head, grab the sand through his hands and throws it all in her head, you might want to say that the woman will be humiliated after the death of her  man, some women tear their clothes and  some parts of her body were uncovered, while they shout in a scary frightening to children


Egyptian burial was grim and picturesque, family members showing a lot of pain and they hire mourners who walked with his face covered in mud, bare chest, torn clothing, did not stop moaning and banging their head, these details mentioned are engraved on the tombs of the nobles at Luxor

Within the journey to the grave, at the funeral,they are relatives, neighbors, friends, and everyone will remember the merits of the deceased: <How beautiful is what happens ... filled the heart of  Khonsu in Thebes to the point that West has achieved poems accompanied generations of servers.>

Now the funeral procession looks like a move, some servants carrying flowers and candy, jars of pottery, stone vases, figurines, boxes, another group of servants are responsible for the most common furniture such as seats, beds, chests and cabinets, carro. Apart from personal belongings, canopic jars, canes, scepters, statues and trusted group carries jewelry, necklaces, hawks or vultures with outspread wings, birds with human head.every thing  passes before the eyes of many curious attendees

The sacófagose placed in a coffin pulled by a couple of cows and some men, what was wooden panels mohel or a structure from which hung curtains of embroidered fabric and all is introduced in a boat flanked by statues of the goddess Isis and the goddess Nephtis, which in turn was pulled by a sled
