Before the surgical embalming or cosmetic processes can begin, the body is washed in a disinfectant solution and the limbs are massaged and manipulated to relieve rigor mortis (stiffening of the joints and muscles). Any facial hair is shaved off, unless the person who died wore facial hair.
Mythology is a collection of myths, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition of a group of peopleâtheir collection of stories they tell to explain nature, history, and customs âor the study of such myths. As a collection of such stories, mythology is a vital feature of every culture.oseph Campbell believed there were two different orders of mythology: myths that are metaphorical of spiritual potentiality in the human being, and myths that have to do with specific societies. His major work is The Masks of God I-IV.
A myth is a story that is passed along through time from person to person. Myths are not just any old stories, but a stories with a purpose or lesson.Most often we hear the word âmythâ in connection to the Greeks or Greek Mythology, although lots of other cultures traditonally use myths to help explain the world.his is because the events or things that happen in a myth are pretty unlikely to have happened exactly as the stories tell us. The important thing to remember is that myths are not fact (meaning something that definitely happened) but more like an idea of what could have happened.
