Read the passage from the ancient Egyptian Book of the
Dead.
What is the central idea of this passage?
Homage to thee, O my divine father Osiris! I come to
embalm thee. Do thou embalm these my members, for
would not perish and come to an end [but would be) even
like unto my divine father. ... Let not my body become
worms, but deliver thou me as thou didst deliver thyself.
I pray thee, let me not fall into rottenness.
O Osiris rules the underworld.
O Preserving the body for burial is important.
O Ancient Egyptians worshipped many gods.
The embalming process requires attention to detail.
