Palsameerimine Palsameerimine ehk mumifitseerimine on muumia valmistamine surnukeha õliga ehk palsamiga võides. Aju eemaldati metallinstrumendi abil ninasõõrmete kaudu. Seejärel töödeldi kolpa vastavate rohtudega. Järgnevalt võeti välja kõik siseorganid peale südame ja neerude. Pärast kõhuõõne tühjendamist pesti see hoolikalt. Keha dehüdrateeriti ehk vabastati veest 70 päeva soodalahuses leotades. Seejärel surnukeha pesti ja mähiti osavalt linasesse riidesse. Riie kaeti vaigu või mingi muu kleepuva ainega, mis täitis liimi otstarvet Muumia pandi ohtrasti kaunistatud inimkehakujulisse puukirstu. Mumifitseerimine Tänapäeval võib koolnu palsameerida mõne tunniga. Tavaliselt tehakse seda nii, et veenidesse ja arteritesse, samuti kõhu- ja rindkereõõnde lastakse sobival hulgal palsameerimise vedelikku. Soodsa hinna ja ohutuse tõttu kasutatakse palsameerimiseks enamasti formadelhüüdi. Kim Jong ...

Hadrian's Wall Hadrian's Wall was a stone and turf fortification built by the Roman Empire across the width of Great Britain to prevent military raids by the tribes of Scotland to the north, to improve economic stability and provide peaceful conditions in the Roman province of Britannia to the south, to physically mark the frontier of the Empire, and to separate the unruly Selgovae tribe in the north from the Brigantes in the south and discourage them from uniting. The name is also sometimes used jocularly as a synonym for the border between Scotland and England, although for most of its length the wall follows a line well south of the modern border -- and neither the Scoti tribe nor the English lived in Britain at the time of the wall's construction. The wall was the northern border of the Empire in Britain for much of the Roman Empire's rule, and also the most heavily fortified border in the Empire. In addition to its use as a milit...

Topic Canada History The first people to live in what is now Canada arrive from Asia at least 20 000 years ago. They arrived by a way of a land bridge that once connected Asia and North America at what is now Alaska. In 1497, John Capot, an Italian navigator in the service of England found rich fishing grounds off Canada's southeast coast. France took the lead in exploring the country and set up a colony in eastern Canada in the early 1600's. Great Britain gained control of the country in 1763 and thousands of British immigrants began to join the French who remained in Canada. Canada gained its independence from Britain in 1931. Position/area Canada is the second largest country in the world. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
