Vid Egybest is an ancient Egyptian term that refers to the opening of the mouth ceremony. This ceremony was performed on mummies to allow them to speak and eat in the afterlife. The ceremony was typically performed by a priest or priestess, who would use a chisel to open the mummy’s mouth. Once the mouth was open, the priest or priestess would insert a small statue of Anubis, the god of the dead, into the mummy’s mouth. The statue would then be removed, and the mummy’s mouth would be sealed shut with wax.
The opening of the mouth ceremony was an important part of the ancient Egyptian funerary process. It was believed that the ceremony would allow the deceased to enter the afterlife and join the gods. The ceremony was also thought to protect the deceased from evil spirits.
