V. Read the passage carefully and write the answers ( from 36 to 40 )
The ancient Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing for it. Elaborate
burial rituals included preparing the burial site, providing for all of the deceased’s material needs ( food,
clothing, jewels and tools of their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it would not decay. This preservation
was accomplished through a process of communification. The ancients left no written accounts as to execution
of this process, so scientists have had to examine mummies and established their own theories. The embalming
process might have taken up to seventy days for the pharaohs and nobility and only a few days for the poor.
