Talk:Mastaba
From Academic Kids
It may be my english that is not very good: but it is that right? "A cooler tomb (...) allowes the body to decompose"? I translate that like this: a body decomposes faster when is cool weather? But I think the opposite... is the hot weather that allowes a body to decompose faster?... Help me, and forgive me my bad english!
- It would certainly seem reasonable that higher temperatures allowed for faster decomposition - where did this information come from? Mark Richards 20:31, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
It is from the page of Wikipedia "mastaba", at the end of the 2nd paragraph... Is that right? Or am I misunderstanding (I don't know if this word exists...) that?
- Well, yes, I see that it's from the page Mastaba, I was wondering where the orginal poster (Lir), got the information. I have left a message on his talk page. Thanks for noticing this!

If the temperature is hot enough, then water will evaporate. A lack of water will lead to mummification, instead of decomposition. Lirath Q. Pynnor
