People die everyday. There are people dying as I write this, as wewe read it, in the future, and in the past. It’s the same across the globe. But what isn’t the same is how people bury the deceased. We in the U.S. generally bury our dead in the ground. People in Europe used to bury their dead in cairns. Every culture has a different means of putting the dead in their final resting place, but the culture whose method I am going to tell wewe about is Ancient Egypt. zaidi specifically, he process of mummification. Mummification was a long and complicated process involving spells, knives, and a lot of linen. Anubis was the god of death, and watched over the embalming process.
When a person died, a crier went through the streets, calling out the death to the people. Meanwhile, the body was taken to the “ibu” au “place of purification”. The body was washed with palm wine and rinsed in water from the Nile.
The priests then made a small slit in the left side of the body near the stomach. Through this, they removed the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines. They left the moyo in the body; because they thought that the moyo controlled the body and contained the soul. The inayofuata step was quite…disturbing. They stuck a long hook up the nose of the body and pulled out the brains. This, they disposed of, thinking it useless.
They then stuffed the now partially empty body with natron and left it to dry for forty days. This was also done to the organs. After forty, the body and organs were taken out of the natron and the body was washed with water from the Nile before being rubbed with oil.
Each of the organs was wrapped in linen and placed within its own canopic jar. Each canopic jar juu had the head of one of the sons of Horus on it. The liver was protected kwa the human-headed Imsety, while Hapi, whose head was a baboon, guarded the lungs. The jackal-headed Duametef safeguarded the stomach and Qebehenuef the falcon, kozi watched over the intestines.
The body was wrapped in long strips of linen, starting with the head neck, hen moving on to the fingers and toes. Then the arms, legs, and torso were wrapped in that order. In-between the layers of linen, the priests placed amulets that were believed to help in the afterlife. Two examples of such are the “Isis Knot” and “Plummet”. Both are pictured. While the body was being wrapped, a priest read spells from the Book of the Dead, a book filled with “spells” for the deceased’s journey through the Underworld. A copy of the Book of the Dead was placed between the hands of the mummy which, along with the legs, were tied together. A cloth was wrapped around the entire body. A portrait of Osiris, the god of the Underworld, was painted on the front of the mummy. Yet another yet cloth was wrapped around the body and this time it was bound in place. The body was placed within a wooden coffin which was placed within another coffin. The coffin was taken to the tomb. But before it was placed within, the priest performed a ceremony called the opening of the mouth. This, they believed, enabled the deceased to eat, drink, and talk in the inayofuata life. They then placed the coffin in a sarcophagus and placed it within the tomb.
I repeat, mummification was a long and complicated process. There were priests who devoted their entire lives to embalming. Aren’t wewe glad that wewe aren’t an Ancient Egyptian?

Something Beautiful
I was in a restless mood.
I tried to read and ended up with vitabu scattered all over the floor.
I tried listening to muziki but all the words sounded out of tune.
I tried to write but ended up staring at a blank page for ten minutes.
So I decided to create something beautiful.
I wrote a song, drew a picture, and made a frame for it.
I took a photo, made a vase, and arranged some flowers.
I drew a tattoo on my hand, made a tower out of everything, climbed on my roof and did a dance.
But no matter how hard I try the most beautiful thing I ever created will always be you.

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead au alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
wewe can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong au right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
wewe can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
wewe can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Hi peeps, I just had an idea so I made a spur of the moment article!!!
So, what you've gotta do is write a single word in the maoni box (make sure it's relevant to the one above it!) and eventually it will make a story!!!
E.g:
There
Once
Was
A
Carrot
Called
Bill!
Get it? Ok, the starting word is...
Who
Ghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghhghg
Just filling up space so the makala will ACTUALLY POST HOW LONG DOES THIS THING HAVE TO BE?!?!?
.."........."....."...."........
