Egyptian mummies

Egyptian mummies are preserved bodies from ancient Egypt, created through a careful embalming process to protect the body after death. The ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife, so they removed internal organs, treated the body with resins, and wrapped it tightly in linen bandages to prevent decay. These mummies were often placed in decorated coffins and buried with goods for the afterlife. The process varied over time and social status, with some being simple burials and others elaborate rituals for royalty. Today, mummies provide valuable insights into Egypt’s history, culture, and beliefs about life after death.
