ancientDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, search Wikipedia has an article on: AncientFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of recorded human history in the Old World to the Early Middle Ages in Europe. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, with Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of writing, from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC. This is the beginning of history, as opposed to prehistory, according to the definition used by most historians. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, the death of the emperor Justinian I, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient and Classical European history. In India, the period includes the period of the Middle Kingdoms, and in China the time up to the Qin Dynasty is included. From Wikipedia under the

They believed that one day the soul would come back to the same body after death. That is why they had to preserve the body. The internal organs were removed and kept separately in salted water in four jars. The body was placed in natron salt for 40 days. After that it was painted with resin to keep the humidity from reaching the body, then they wrapped the body with bands of cloth.
