Egyptians believed the life did not end when a person died but that it continued. They believed the pharaoh would become god or goddess after his death that is why they were buried with their servants and their treasures for the afterlife. Only rich people and pharaohs could be mummified in Egypt as their religion dictated. The process followed several steps and was done by a priest with the mask of the god Anubis. The first step was to remove the internal organs of the body, the brain and then the organs of the lower part of the body. Secondly, rinse inside the body with wine and spices and place the organs in canopic jars (liver, lungs, intestine and stomach which previously have been dried) except for the heart which was to be weigh in afterlife by the god Anubis to decide if the person was good or bad. The heart was left in the body. Thirdly, the body was coverd with natron (salt) for 70 days. Finally, the body was wrap with bandages and placed in a sarcophagus.

Mark the statement if it accurately describes Portugal’s claim to Brazil.
IgorC [24]
<span>A. The explorer who claimed Brazil was following a plan to sail far to the west to find and claim land for Portugal.

- this is not likely, as at the time lands "far" to the west belonged to Spain!


B. The explorer who claimed Brazil was able to do so because Brazil lay east of the Line of Demarcation drawn at the Treaty of Tordesillas.
This is true!  This treaty "split" the world among Spain and Portugal: and Portugal then pushed the boundary, making today's Brazil bigger


C. A map of South America that shows the 1494 Line of Demarcation explains why the people of Brazil speak a different language from most of the people living in the rest of South America.
-well, yes, it can be said to be true: it shows that people east of the line of demarcation speak Portuguese, and then the line was not followed exactly which explains why people immediately west to this line also speak Portuguese: the line was "shifted"

So I think B and C

Can i get some information of shiites and sunnis that explains there split up??
sveta [45]
The split refers to the different opinions about who was the rightful successor of Mohammad: all of the four caliphs (Sunnis think so) or only one of them, Ali (Shiia). Ali was killed in the early fight for power, and his two sons were too, which has contributed to the feeling of martyrdom among the Shiia.
