KMT was a
society that lasted over 5,000 years. Kemetians beleived in everlasting
life and preserved the body so perfectly that they have been discovered
intact after thousands of years. This preservation is commonly
known as mummification. All of the major organs were removed and
placed in canopic jars. Each canopic jar had a special meaning. Mdw Ntr was written throughout the temples and tombs. An example of funery Mdw Ntr is shown below. The purpose of the Mdw Ntr was to retell the persons life, tell some of their history and inform the reader of the history of their society.

This
section talks about how people from all over, Africans from the
heart of Africa, Asians from Persia, people on the coast of Italy,
and India, we are all affected by the language of Mdw Ntr. Dr. Poe
says there was most likely someone who could translate some of Mdw
Ntr, so they could all communicate with each other. |
