Embalming：History of Embalming and Facts

瑞时

Embalming is the process of preserving human remains by treating them with chemicals to temporarily stop decomposition. Typically, the reasons for preserving a corpse is to keep the body presentable for public display at a funeral, or for medical and scientific purposes, such the study of human anatomy. There are three overall goals when it comes to embalming: sanitization, presentation, and preservation.

Embalming is a process that has been practiced all over the world, in different ways throughout much of history. One of the most famous, early examples of embalming took place in Egypt. As early as the First Dynasty (3200 BC), specialized priests were in charge of embalming and mummification. These processes involved removing organs, drying the body, and covering it in a chemical compound called natron. The Ancient Egyptians believed that this process of preservation was necessary for the dead to pass on into the afterlife.

    防腐是通过用化学物质处理人类遗骸以暂时阻止其分解来保存遗骸的过程。通常，保存尸体的原因是为了使尸体在葬礼上公开展示，或用于医学和科学目的，如人体解剖学研究。防腐有三个总体目标：消毒、展示和保存。
    防腐是一个全世界都在实践的过程，在历史的大部分时间里以不同的方式进行。最著名的早期防腐实例之一发生在埃及。早在第一王朝（公元前3200年），就有专门的牧师负责防腐和木乃伊制作。这些过程包括去除器官，干燥身体，并用一种叫做钠的化合物覆盖身体。古埃及人认为，这种保存过程对于死者进入来世是必要的。
