When you think of a mummy what comes to mind? Almost people usually imagine an Egyptian mummy wrapped in bandages and buried deep inside a pyramid. While the Egyptian mummies are the most famous, they have been found in many places throughout the world. Then, let’s find out more information about it in detail.

WHAT ARE MUMMIES
A mummy is the body of a person or an animal that has been preserved after death. In general when people die, bacteria and other microorganisms eat away the soft tissues such as skin and muscles. As a result, only the bones are left behind it.

Mummies are made naturally or by embalming, which means any process that people use to help preserve a dead body. Mummies can be dried out by extremely cold, by the sun, by smoke, or by using chemicals such as natron. Some bodies become mummies because there were appropriate natural conditions when they died. Others were preserved and buried with great care.

The ancient Egyptian believed that mummifying a person’s body after death was essential to ensure a safe way to the afterlife.





HOW ARE MUMMIES MADE
Mummification in ancient Egypt was a very long and expensive process. From start to finish, it took about seventy days to preserve a body.
