The Egyptian mummification process is basically a means of preserving a dead body. Without preservation, a body will decompose, leaving onlyrepparttar 133907 bones. The Egyptian mummification process therefore prevents a body from decomposing, allowingrepparttar 133908 deceased to resemble what he looked like when he was still alive.

THE FINAL JUDGMENT

Torepparttar 133909 ancient Egyptians, a person is composed of 6 different parts: his body, ba (personality or character), ka (spirit of life), akh (immortal soul), as well as his name and his shadow. A person is not whole if he is missing any of these parts.

The ancient Egyptians believed inrepparttar 133910 afterlife. They believed that when a person died, he continued living in another plane of life inrepparttar 133911 underworld. Since he is still considered to be "alive", all 6 parts of that person should be intact for him to live properly.

How Would YOU Like to Have a Travel Buddy Who Knows How to Pick up Girls!

Written by Elvis Preston King


Better yet how would YOU like to have a travel buddy who actually holdsrepparttar World’s Record ofrepparttar 133905 Most Girlfriends!

Let’s go on a vacation, but this time lets skip, Ft. Lauderdale, Hawaii, Bahamas and Cancun. Let’s go whererepparttar 133906 girls love Western Men like you and me.

I am Elvis Preston King I have always beenrepparttar 133907 master of how to pick up girls. Back home inrepparttar 133908 United States and Canada I noticed as I began to grow olderrepparttar 133909 girls would stick up their nose up at me. I claim to be American and Canadian as one of my parents is from Toronto, andrepparttar 133910 other parent is from Kansas City. Of course I was born in Mississippi and I grew up in Memphis.

Even when I would pull up torepparttar 133911 curb in my Rolls Royce Limo and my Ferrari F40repparttar 133912 girls wouldn’t give merepparttar 133913 time of day. Enough is enough. Young Western women don’t appreciaterepparttar 133914 Older Man. That goes for you German, French, Italian, English, Dutch and all ofrepparttar 133915 rest of you.

Well, simply put I got so angry one day when I was trying to pick up a young 18 year old Hollywood, California girl who wouldn’t even give me her phone number let alone talk to me. I said that’s it. I sold my Hillsboro beach Florida penthouse, put my cars in storage and hopped on a plane torepparttar 133916 Dominican Republic and I haven’t been home since and that was five years ago. I have many sexual paradises of earth that I like to travel to. I now holdrepparttar 133917 world record of more girlfriends than any man on earth. I have over 1000 active girlfriends and I am sad to say that I am broken up with over 2000 girls who have left me high but not dry. They caught me fooling around with another girl!

Of course, a wife would be nice, but how can you pick just one wife out of all these beautiful young dream girls. I might accept a harem of wives, but I’d get bored with them too and move on I am sure. I am sorry when you’re Elvis and every young beauty loves you it’s just too big of a temptation to stray. I could never be with just one woman no matter how beautiful she is. I tried it. I hadrepparttar 133918 runner up Miss Universe from one country and I couldn’t be loyal. Good luck Donald Trump! I think you made a big mistake getting married to a young beauty. Same to you Larry Ellison, with your money you don’t need a wife. There are other more suitable arrangements than marriage that can be made! I have girls that I sleep with and girls who take care of my cooking and cleaning. Needless to say if you arerepparttar 133919 senior playboy king you have to eat right.
