Mummification
Mummification was a large part in Ancient Egypts culture.
Some of the earliest ancient Egyptians had buried the dead in small pits in the desert. The heat and dryness of the sand would quickly dehydrate the bodies. This would quickly create natural and lifelike ‘mummies’.
Later on, the ancient Egyptians would start burying their dead bodies in coffins to protect the bodies from animals in the desert. However, they had then realized that the bodies that were placed in coffins decayed when they had not been exposed to dry, hot sand of the desert.
Over many centuries, the ancient Egyptians had developed a method of preserving the bodies so they could remain life like. This process would include embalming the bodies and carefully wrapping them in strips of linen. Today we will call this process mummification.
