British Museum

I took some awesome pictures in London on Saturday. The very red fruit on the very bare tree. Also, look at the contrast between the two buildings; old and new.

Look at the architecture of the skylight. I was wondering how they did that. The pic in the middle, it's me and Venus. And on the right, it is WOW WOWwee... Believe or not, it's all books... it's like the library in the castle of Beauty & Beast.

The very beautiful colourful glazed porcelain dish 'Dawn'(1992), is a piece by Tokuda Yasokichi III. The pic on the right, i don't remember what that is but it is a great piece.. Everthing in the museum is really amazing.

That, i'm sure you know what that is.. the mummy and samurai costumes.


That is the explanation of mummification. It's kinda gross. What happens is, soon after a person dies, it is taken to the tent of purification where the body was washed in a solution of natron with water. Then removal of organ takes place where the brain is extracted out through the nose with a metal rod. After that, an incision is made in the left flank with a stone knife where the organs of chest and abdomen except the heart isremoved. Next is the drying process where the cavities are packed with natron which absorbs fluid. The body is then covered with natron and left for 40 days. When the 40 days are up, the cavities are packed with linen, woodshavings or earth to restore substance to the features. The skin is the coatedr with some sort of liquid plant resin so the the moisture is excluded from the body. The final step is definitely the wrapping while prayers and magical spells were recited.
