The Egyptian jackal-headed god Anubis preparing a mummy.

Now, the thing that I was supposed to tell you last time but couldn’t, it’s a question actually from those who have self-confidence in the first place and more, are honest to themselves. I’m sure most of you are honest to other people but being honest to ones self is something else.

The Greek historian, Herodotus who visited Egypt in mid fifth century B.C. writes in his great book [The Histories] that in Egypt they have different methods of embalming, three ways to mummify the dead. In the most expensive one, for royal family and the well to do, “They first take a crooked piece of iron”, as he says, “and with it draw out the brain through the nostrils” and then they make a cut along the flank of the body and take out the whole contents of the abdomen and fill the cavity with aromatic myrrh, with spicery.
But in the cheapest method, for the poor, they let the brain alone, no crooked piece of iron, and leave the body intact, no cut with that Ethiopian sharp stone as he says. They just inject a certain amount of warm smooth cedar tree oil through the deceased ass inside the body and then seal the ass hole firmly for seventy days and keep the body, like the expensive methods, in some special liquid; and at the end of that time as he says: "The cedar oil is allowed to make its escape and such is its power that it brings with it the whole stomach and the intestines in a liquid state."
Real smooth, cool isn’t it?
Now the important question is: which one do you prefer, honestly. To let them take your brain out with a crooked piece of iron?! which is not sterilized I'm sure, through your nose and wound all the inside of your nose irreparably?! Why? And then brutally cutting your body from under the arm to your waist and bring out the stomach and everything like the butchers do to the poor cows?
OR,
Or, you like them to leave your brain alone and delicately like a caring mother, inject warm smooth oil into your ass, that’s all, and let you go? I bet even among the royal family you could find many smart people who bribed the embalmers to pass them as poor; to be treated like a human beings instead of being tortured so bad that one when think of it likes to sit down and cry for an hour at least.
Which one do you like?
