According to Happeh Theory, the ancient Egyptian people were aware of various aspects of the deep level construction characteristics of the human body. According to Happeh Theory, the entire ancient Egyptian culture was based on and permeated by this knowledge. Cultural rituals and practices were all influenced by the knowledge of how the human body is constructed at a deep level. According to Happeh Theory, the practice of mummification is one of the cultural rituals of the ancient Egyptians that demonstrates their knowledge of the deep level construction characteristics of the human body. Mummification is the practice of wrapping the remains of dead people in strips of clothing soaked in special fluids. A body is mummified so it will be preserved for a long time. Mummification can preserve a body for hundreds of years. Below is a short description of the mummification procedure. "The embalmers then wrapped the body in a shroud and began methodically winding the bandages around the different parts of the body. Typically, they started with the hands and feet, wrapping all of the fingers and toes individually, and then moved on to the head, arms, legs and torso. Once all the parts of the body were wrapped, the embalmers began wrapping the body as a whole. As they applied new layers, the embalmers coated the linen with hot resin material to glue the bandages in place. During this entire process, the embalmers uttered spells and laid protective amulets on the body (for protection in the next world), wrapping them up at different layers. " According to Happeh Theory, the practice of mummification demonstrates that the ancient Egyptains knew about the deep level construction characteristics of the human body, by the exact way in which the preservative cloth is wrapped around the mummy. According to Happeh Theory, mummies were not wrapped in layers of cloth in a haphazard or random way. The layers of cloth were wrapped around the mummies specifically to follow or mimic one of the deep layer construction characteristics of the human body. |
