Learn the steps of Egyptian Mummification with this Rap Song by Rohit Iyengar https://www.facebook.com/RohitIyengarOfficial Twitter - @rohit_iyen Lyrics: (Verse 1) First we start embalming at the tent called ibu Where they wash the body with palm wine and nile water. On the left side - they cut and take out the organs And to dry them out, natron salts are used. The heart is left inside, cause it’s the center of it all Intelligence and feeling, are needed in the long haul What happens to the brain? well that’s smashed through the nose Now they salt the whole body, from the head to the toes (Chorus) The Afterlife (the afterlife) It’s where everybody wants to go The Afterlife (the afterlife) It’s where you wanna go when you die (Verse 2) Forty days have passed, this dude needs some oils wash him with nile water ‘fore his skin’s elastic spoils His dehydrated organs, wrapped in linen-are returned or they’re placed in canopic jars, cause the gods are concerned Stuff our dead man till he’s life like, with sawdust, leaves and linen After more fragrant oils, time to wrap him up in linen! Wrap his head, neck, toes, fingers, legs and arms Embalmers place amulets as protective charms (Chorus) The Afterlife (the afterlife) It’s where everybody wants to go The Afterlife (the afterlife) It’s where you wanna go when you die so-say prayers all your life then get mummified and say hello hello baby to the afterlife (Verse 2) To ward off all evil, a priest reads out spells, more spells, in his arms from the book of the dead. More wrapping, more cloth, a picture of Osiris It’s coffin-ception, before his family finally mourns his death. They open his mouth, so he can eat and drink again He goes in the Sarcophagus, and then they close the tomb. At the end of it all, he’s in the underworld his heart being judged if he deserves to go, (to go) (Chorus) The Afterlife (the afterlife) It’s where everybody wants to go The Afterlife (the afterlife) It’s where you wanna go when you die you wanna board that boat you wanna seal your spot cause it’s the land of two fields in the afterlife so-say prayers all your life ,then get mummified and say hello hello baby to the afterlife
