 Introduction
What is a mummy?

A mummy is the corpse

of a human being or
other animal that,
through embalming or
natural circumstances,
has been kept in an
acceptable state of
preservation of the body
long after death.
 Mummification in Ancient Egypt
The Egyptian mummification
consisted of:
Washing and perfuming the
outside of the corpse.The
organs were extracted and
kept in vessels called canopic
vessels.The belly was filled
with myrrh.The body was
immersed in natron for 70
days.It was dried well and
filled with myrrh.
Mummification in Ancient Egypt
The corpse was wrapped
with bandages
impregnated with resins
between which amulets
were placed. From the Low
Epoch many times the
resin will be substituted by
bitumen, called mum from
where the Arab word
mummiya will derive and
from this, mummy.
Finally they kept them in
one to three sarcophagi one
inside the other.

the result of the natural mummification

of the bodies.
 Mummification in Ancient Egypt

The common Egyptians were not mummified, but

were buried in pits where the heat and dry
conditions of the desert naturally mummified
them. The process occurs in the predynastic tombs
of Nagada since the most common was that the
bodies remained whole and buried in simple pits,
dug at a shallow depth. Thanks to the direct
contact with the desert sand, sometimes these
bodies have been very well preserved .
Were the Egyptians the first to mummify their
dead?

Although Egyptian mummies are the best known globally, it seems that this was
not the first civilization to mummify their dead. Recent research has shown that
in certain areas of South America they were already doing it 2,000 years before
the Egyptians.

The Chinese also did it. Recently, a perfectly preserved 2,100-year-old mummy
has been found. The skin was still moist, and there was even blood in its veins.
Curiosities of the mummies

● The only organ that the ancient Egyptians kept inside the body
during mummification was the heart.
● In the 16th and 17th centuries, pieces of Egyptian mummies were
sold for use in the preparation of home remedies to treat various
diseases such as bruises, headaches and epilepsy.
● In Ancient Egypt, cats were also mummified as they were
considered sacred animals.
