EarthAngel, this thread is over a decade old, and the person who started it hasn't even been on this site since nearly that long. It's doubtful you resurrected this thread for any actually fruitful results.

Qeres seems to have two separate meanings.

The first, and the one we know to be true is that the term was used to describe the combination of spices used during the mummification process in ancient Egypt. During that process the body was cleansed and purified with powdered aromatics of cinnamon, cassia, cumin, anise, and myrrh and probably others as well. Then the body was treated with natron to dry it out.. So it seems most likely that this combination of aromatics is what was known as Qeres.

The second is a totally unproven conspiracy theory that there exists a perfume which is deadly to Angels and to any who carry the blood of the Nephilim. And yet this same poison isn't toxic to humans. There is no solid evidence that this Angel-killing perfume exists or ever did exist. It has been said that the Church sought this perfume because they believed that the Jewish people carried the blood of the Nephilim in their DNA and that the perfume could then be used to kill off all of the Jewish people. So it sounds like the story may have arisen as a way of justifying genocide.

Vampire_1623 has not been on this site since 2012. It's always a good idea to check on how old a thread is before you start responding to someone.

With little information out there about this specific oil, we may never know exactly what it contains but there are very good guesses as to what may have been involved even if we don't know exact ratios. There are known oils that were used for embalming such as lavender, daisy, anise, peppermint, myrtle, cassia, cedar, myrrh, frankincense, rose, cinnamon, camphor, cumin,and aloe.

I am curious as to what you would like to do. Is this just informational or are you planing to create embalming oils for actual use?
