Say if these statements are false or true:

  •  Egyptians went a lot of troubles to evade decomposition
  • Living cells constantly renew themselves, specialized enzymes decompose old structures, and the raw materials are used to build new ones. But when someone dies their dead cells are no longer able to renew themselves, but the enzymes keep breaking everything down, so they needed to get ahead of those enzymes before the tissues began to rot.
  • They started the process by hammering a spike into the skull, mashing up the brain, flushing it out the nose and pouring three resins into the skull to prevent further  decomposition
  • liver, stomach, and intestine contain digestive enzymes and bacteria, which, upon death, start eating the corpse from the inside
  • They placed the organs in jars filled wiht a naturally occurring salt called natron
  • Like any salt, natron can prevent decay by killing bacteria and preventing the body´s natural digestive enzymes from working
  • The priest stuffed the the body cavity with sacks of sand and washed it clean to desinfect the skin
  • The priest wrapped it in linen and put the mummy in a coffin and sometimes even stone sarcophagus
