Eventually they split it up again in to two parts of twelve. They called them the “period of complete darkness” and the “period of light.” The most amazing thing that Egypt did that no other civilization did was mummify their rulers. The process of mummification was seven steps.
The most important steps were when they put the book of the dead next to the person. Another step was the final wrap with an Isis knot to protect the body’s journey through the underworld.
