Predynastic Burial Customs

Publisher's Description

This article looks briefly at some of the human burials and their contents found in Ancient Egypt, dating from 55,000 BP to the late Predynastic era. It is clear from the objects placed in the burial pits that Egyptians of Predynastic times firmly believed in life after death. To ensure that the spirit of the deceased continued to survive, it had to be sustained by food and drink, and provided with everyday items as well as objects of special significance. The article also includes a section on 'Ginger' at the British Museum. 14 pages, 1.2MB
