No mummification, no burial, no chance at an afterlife. That was as harsh as you could get. >>Our own efforts have screwed up their plans for a comfortable afterlife.<< In all fairness, the tomb robbers of 30 centuries ago beat us to the punch. Very few tombs have been found with the burials being even reletively unmolested. That was why the discovery of King Tut's tomb was so important. It gave us a snapshot of the ancient Egyptians and their culture which we wouldn't have otherwise. [/QUOTE]
