BRAIN JUICE

This week in school I have learnt a little bit about Egyptians. But the most disgusting, gross, weird thing that I know about is what they do when people die. The Egyptians have a hook that they called the medicine hook.

When people die, the medicine hook was used to get the brain out. But that's not the worst part. They whisk the hook around and around until the brain started to drip through the nose.

The next step was to tilt the body so that the liquid would pour out into a jar. They also cut out the lungs and the liver. They didn't cut out the heart because they thought it was precious and they didn't cut out the kidneys because they couldn't reach it.
