I participated in a media preview, and this time I will tell you about it! <\/p>\n

An unusual Japanese mummy is also on display. This is a brother mummy from the Edo period<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

"Scared" "Uncomfortable" … Some people might look at the mummy and grin unexpectedly.
\n But at least many of the readers of this article have a fundamental \u201ccuriosity\u201d beyond a certain interest, likes and dislikes about mummy. <\/p>\n

Why did people make mummy? There is a deep connection with the environment surrounding the people who lived at that time, the view of life and death, and the view of religion. <\/p>\n

Mummy has not attracted much academic interest for a long time due to its scarcity, but the information that can be extracted by the recent science and technology has increased dramatically, and the mummy has been re-investigated and the development of storage methods has been renewed. It is broken.
\n In this exhibition, we will explain the mummy from all over the world, various cultures and views of life and death, and the actual image of the mummy that has been revealed scientifically. South America, Egypt, Oceania, Japan … Through the 43 mummy gathered from all over the world, we introduce the various views of life and body that human beings have. <\/p>\n

Mummy from all over the world gathers in \u201cKahaku\u201d! <\/h3>\n

\u300aMummy of men crossing arms\u300b Egypt, details unknown Unknown 410 BC-c. 250 BC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mummy with genitals attached? !<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

Greco-Roman era, ruled by Gilshas and Romans. Even after the ancient Egyptian religion was considered heresy, mummies were made in a simpler way. This is a male mummy with a distinct pose that crosses arms, which has been a trend since the New Kingdom. The state of preservation is good, and if you look up close, you can feel the freshness of the facial expression. <\/p>\n

According to a CT scan survey, this mummy is a 35-40 year old man. The brain is removed from the nose, the internal organs are removed by incising the left flank, and the body is filled with bags containing linen and natron. Characteristically, the male genitalia made of linen is attached, which is based on the myth of Osiris and is related to the concept of regeneration and resurrection. <\/p>\n

First public release in Japan! Mysterious two mummy<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

European culture has little custom of preserving bodies as mummies, and most of the discovered mummies are \u201cnatural mummies\u201d. Here are two wetland bodies found in the Bortung Marshland in the Netherlands in 1904. <\/p>\n

Two mummy that seems to hold hands. In an extreme state, I can imagine that it is a couple who died while staying close together, but it turns out that both are actually men. Unfortunately, it seems that the relationship between the two has not been elucidated due to poor DNA preservation, and there are still many mysteries. <\/p>\n

"Mummy of herbologists" Japan circa 1832<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

National scholar who made himself an \u201cexperimental table\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

A Japanese mummy that keeps its original appearance from appearance, body shape and skin texture. This person is a herbologist of the Edo period (modern natural history and pharmacology). In order to confirm his research results, he devised a method for preserving his body and said, \u201cIf you have a chance in future generations, dig out.\u201d It seems to have been told. In other words, you have become a mummy with your own will (!) From an academic pursuit. <\/p>\n

The skin has a reddish brown color, but this may have been due to the effects of tannins in the seeds of cocoons because it was found that they had consumed a large amount of "seed seeds" just before their death. How did he succeed in mummyizing himself? Unfortunately, no specific method has been reported. <\/p>\n

Special supporter Beat Takeshi also appears! <\/h3>\n

In addition, Beat Takeshi, a special supporter of this exhibition, also appeared at the preview. Takeshi who visited the exhibition hall with the curator <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I became a mummy, I saw a mummy (the herbologist's mummy) and trembled. It \u2019s a great spiritual world. Is unknown and something that can't be done "<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n

And enthusiastic about the cultural value of the mummy, which retains clues from the ancient times. In addition, he mentioned that there was an era of burning mummies in the past, appealed for the importance of spreading education that valued cultural heritage early, <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all, I want the children to see it. It \u2019s important to be interested in something and want to know more. In the current era, there are searches such as Google, but the real thing is still photos No, there are strange gears. "<\/strong> <\/p>\n
