In Ancient Egypt, the priest-embalmer laid the gold on the whole of the king's body. For simple citizens, he more modestly applied fine leaves or amulets of golden wax for certain parts. Possessing the same magical powers as gold, they participated in the complete preservation.
在古埃及,防腐师牧师会将黄金覆盖在法老的全身。对于普通公民,他则较为适度地在某些部位涂抹香叶或金色蜡制护身符。由于它们拥有与黄金相同的神奇力量,因而参与到了完整的防腐过程中。
