About this capture

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Internet Archive

The Internet Archive discovers and captures web pages through many different web crawls. At any given time several distinct crawls are running, some for months, and some every day or longer. View the web archive through the Wayback Machine.

Collection: Live Web Proxy Crawls

Content crawled via the Wayback Machine Live Proxy mostly by the Save Page Now feature on web.archive.org.

Liveweb proxy is a component of Internet Archive?s wayback machine project. The liveweb proxy captures the content of a web page in real time, archives it into a ARC or WARC file and returns the ARC/WARC record back to the wayback machine to process. The recorded ARC/WARC file becomes part of the wayback machine in due course of time.

Mummies and Mummification: Late  Period, 
 Ptolemaic, Roman and Christian Period
In the later periods the viscera packets previously placed inside the body  were now often again placed inside stone canopic jars (Late Period) or tall  wooden canopic chests (Ptolemaic Period). In the Ptolemaic Period the mummification  became more widespread. The viscera remained in the bodies or the body was  filled with packets of resin soaked linen, mud, broken pottery molten resin  or with bitumen. 
In the Roman period the mummification saw a further decline. The bodies are  often only badly preserved, and therefore it is often not possible to say  whether the brain or the viscera were removed. More care was applied to the  mummy wrappings, which were more elaborate than ever before; rhomboidal patterns  of bandages built up in several layers are found for both human and animal/bird  bodies. 
Bodies were still being embalmed in the Byzantine period. The body may have  been treated with natron, as before, but now daily life dress replaced the  mummy bandages. Mummification came to an end with the Arabic conquest.
