What is a Funearay Amulet?

A funerary amulet is basically an amulet for the dead. A funerary amulets job is to keep the mummy intact. As far as I know they worked pretty well. There was only one rule for a funerary amulet. The rule is that they must be made out of gold. One of the most famous funerary amulets is the knot of Isis. The knot of Isis represents the afterlife. We know that funerary amulets exist because we found several of them in the tomb that belonged to King Tut. I don't know about you but I would want to buried with a funerary amulet.
