About event

Do you know the difference between natural and artificial mummification? What types of mummies and from what corners of the world do we know? When and why did the ancient Egyptian balsams begin to modify the bodies of the deceased and prepare them for the afterlife? What did the mummification look step by step? Why is it necessary to leave his heart to the deceased in the body? What is the heart dear and what happens to the deceased if the test does not pass successfully? Would you know what to take with you to the "second shore"? Come and listen to an interesting topic. We will introduce our anthropological-Egyptological collection (the second largest collection of ancient Egyptian mummies in our country) and fascinating stories associated with it.

Admission is voluntary.
