mummies of ancient Egypt

A mummy, in terms of Ancient Egypt, is body that has been well preserved for thousands of years. The process was long and tedious; however, essential for an Egyptian as it meant an existence in the Afterlife. The embalmers went to great lengths to ensure their mummies were carefully anointed, wrapped, and packaged—then they were carried to their tombs and laid to rest.

With our modern technology, a mummy is now more than just a body, it is a window into the life of an Egyptian that has a story to tell.
