mummies

Mummies are preserved bodies, typically created through intentional burial practices in ancient cultures like Egypt. Preservation involves removing moisture and treating the body to prevent decomposition, often using methods like drying, embalming, and wrapping in linen. This process helps retain the body's appearance over thousands of years, providing valuable insights into historical civilizations, their beliefs, and practices related to death and the afterlife. While modern mummies are known from ancient Egypt, similar preservation techniques have been used worldwide in different cultures.
