I have studied the rites of the ancient pyramid dwellers in some detail and can now offer this summary of their burial rites. The crux of the matter is that, for reasons I have not fathomed, these folk split the body and soul at death. This mummification process was only performed upon important persons, with the split being more elaborate the further we regress into time. At its simplest, the body is mummified, removing the organs into four canopic jars. The body is typically decorated with jewellery, an unfortunate habit in that it encourages grave robbers.
