Do you like the smell of rotting flesh? Do you like parading around with animal faces on your head? Then you should be an embalmer. You have to be very religious and listen to the pharaoh’s every word. You also get the bonus of looking at, smelling, and touching dead people.
You will need a hook (for removing the brain through the nose), some rocks (to throw at the cutter), and a lot of cloth. You will also need herbs, linen, natron.
If you want to be a embalmer you have to be a religious, a priest, and someone who feels comfortable with the dead people. Women can not become embalmers because the ancient Egyptians are really sexist.
You will become a well respected priest.
You get to sit in a tent with a dead person for 70 days
You will smell a lot of dead people
You get to say ¨magical¨ spells with animal faces on your heads including but not limited to… the spell for not eating maggots and faces in the realm of the dead, And the spell for not drowning in fire.
You get to use the only actual magic substance in egypt, natron!
You arrive at the tent (There were two tents the House Of Beauty and the Place Of Purification) where you're doing your embalming. You wait for someone to drop off a bodie. You start the long process of embalming. Each day you're usually going to do a different task varying from removing the brain from the body, to stuffing the dead body with spices so it won't smell unbearable.
