Mummies are found during Egyptian civilization, people in 20th century may not have much knowledge about mummies.Mummies have been found all over the world ,in some place like China , egypt ,etc. And egypt is the most important place where we find mummies foundation .Mummies occur when the body is dried after death.Actually we know that when the body is left in the atmosphere bacteria will decompose the dead body,so in egyptian technique the body is dried and wrapped with some chemicals . If this thing is done to the body it will remain as husk of what a person looked before his or her death.Mummies have been fully preserved in ice,snow,bogs and mud.
Egyptian kings often ordered jewels and even wives to be placed in tombs, so that they could bring them along on their spiritual journey.In order to dry the body all the internal organs such as kidney,heart and liver are removed.And then salt is added to dry it further and then the corpse is covered with sawdust.
Bodies were often painted and massaged to make them supple, then stuffed and perfumed before final entrance into a coffin.
