Augustus Wood’s paper miller went ablaze when he's not so wise attempt to maintain production caused an outbreak of cholera among folks. Amid civil war, August was unable to keep up production due to the strained import of raw materials to manufacture paper. He needed to come up with a strategy fast to keep things up and running. Evident enough was that mummies in those times were abundant. Additionally, he saw no difference between the rags that were used to wrap the bodies with the paper he was producing. As an entrepreneur, he chose to keep the profits coming in and imported as many Mummy wraps. There wasn't any real financial implication and it was a practical and soundproof decision. He only halted this production when a cholera outbreak was linked to people using these rags to wrap meat. The lengths that businessmen can go to are still unfathomable, and to think this was way back in the day what of today?

This was to ensure that their masters had servicemen to look after their needs. Even after they died in the hopes of resurrection, this practice was set aside for the selected few who were wealthy and prominent enough. Most slaves took up the endearing task wholeheartedly and posed no trouble to their masters. They were honored to serve their masters in this life and the next. It brings such a crippling feeling to think that your death is tied to the death of some person.

Egypt is significant for its diversity of deities from Osiris to Shu to Ra, who was thought to be the greatest of them all amongst the ancient Egyptians. During the establishment of civilization, Egypt expressed its royal ideology declaring servitude to Ra (the sun god). He is the king of all other gods and an advisor to Pharaoh. The gravest offense anyone could commit was any against the sun god. The crimes range from disrespecting the dignity of the sun god to vandalizing the temple. These were unforgivable crimes that were punishable by being burned at the culprit alive. The practice of burning people as punishment was uncommon among Egyptians, and was solely set aside for capital crimes as those against the sun god. The punishment was accomplished by a sacrifice where the Offenders were left at the mercy of the gods. As only they could intervene on their behalf. Burning alive is considered one of the most horrific modes of punishment. Egyptians believed that to be reborn in the afterlife your body needs to be viable thus the practice of mummification.
