Korean and Egyptian Funeral Rites.

Korean and Egyptian Funeral Rites.
The discovery Of human hair In the
tomb Of Tutankhamen suggests a
parallel between Korean and Egyptian
funeral customs. The Korean, when
he buries his ancestor, places with him
In the grave not only the precious por-
celain vessels from which he ate and
drank, but also all the nail-parings
and hair-comblngs Of his life. Similar
customs are said 10 exist In many
other countries.
Probably the custom is due to the
widespread superstition that in order
TO bewitch a person II Is necessary to
have some part OF his body, such as
hair or nall and that these remnants
are buried 50 that they may not fall
into the hands Of an enemy Of the dead
man.
