Los ancianos egipcios creian que ell
alma, despues de millares de amos. vol
via a ocupar ell cuerpo 81 este Sc con
servaba intacto.
De esta creencia vino la practiea de
los embalsamamientos de los cadaveres.
La manera como los egipcios preser-
vaban un cadaver ha sido la admira-
cion de todos los tiempos, pues con
servaban ell cuerpo no solo sin mutilar
10 nj cosa semejante, 81 que tambien
este conservaba su tamafio faccio-
nes.

igual que el primer dia en- que fueron
preparados.
FL secreto lie tales procedjmientos es
ia aun perdido, aunque de los datos oh
tenidos por la Biblia, podemos dedu-
cir las mixturas que hacian, pues lee
mos que "cuando Nicodemus y Josue de
Arimatea vinieron a pagar Ell ultimo
tribute Jesucristo, despu6s de ser
cruc1fcado, trajeron una mixtura de
incienso y mira para embalsamar su
cuerpo''.
Hoy tenemos diferentes procedimien
tos, que requieren verdaderos conoci-
mintos anat6micos para la preparation
de los cadaveres, y los cuales llegan a
conservarse por tempo indefinido,
aunque no Sc ha llegado descubrir los
procedimientos de antemano, Sc ha lie
gado a la conclusion de crear una .ra-
ma professional para dedicarse a tales
operaciones, con ell proposito de impedir
que despues de la muerte Sc desarro-
Hen bacterias, ayudando con estos me
dios combatir ell desarrollo de las en-
fermedades conservando la salud pd-

Mucha razones poderosas Sc imponen
al uso dc los embalsamadores; muchas

impedir la aparici6n de bacterias, en-
tanto los 'cadaveres son velados por sus
familias, hasta encontrar un sitio en-
que reposen.
Esta es la primera raz6n por la cual
Sc acostumbra embalsamar todos los ca
daveres en- los Estados Unidos
Desde que Sc descubrio las causas
destructoras dc los tejidos animales, y
la teoria de los germenes patologicos,
Sc lego la conclusion de afadir otra
raz6n para los ,embalsamalnientos,
sea la de desinfectar los cadaveres, CO

arrollo de las epidemias.
