The Ritual of Embalming Papyrus or ''Papyrus of the Embalming Ritual'' is one of only two extant papyri which detail anything at all about the practices of mummification used within the burial practices of Ancient Egyptian culture. One version of the papyri is contained within the Egyptian museum Cairo (''Pap. Boulaq No.3'') and the other is within the Louvre (No. 5158).〔Robert (''Bob'') Brier, Ronald S. Wade - (Surgical Procedures during ancient Egyptian Mummification ) Chungará (Arica) v.33 n.1 Arica ene. 2001 (2015-06-29 ) (ed. see also (this link ))〕 ==The papyri== The papyri within Cairo was located and discovered during the year 1857, within a tomb in Thebes. The papyri represents the last ten pages of a work of which all other pages are lost, of these, eight were in a good condition. 〔〔 The Louvre papyri shows the same information as is held on the last two pages of the Cairo.〔 Both are copies made in hieratic script, with Demotic notation, during the Roman period, and were copied from an single earlier text.〔〔(ed. this source used to add < some Demotic notations, Papyrus of the Embalming Ritual, eleven acts, wrapping, >〕 The papyri probably dates to the 1st century A.D., and contain specifically information on eleven acts of anointing of the body, the wrapping and placing of internal organs, which had been treated, inside Canopic jars, and the act of performing the bandaging of the embalmed corpse to create a mummy. 〔((permalink ))〕〔Carol Andrews - (Egyptian Mummies ) Harvard University Press 2004 (reprint, revised), 96 pages, ISBN 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ritual of Embalming Papyrus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
