The Science Behind Mummification in Ancient Egypt

The ancient Egyptians created the advanced mummification process as a means to preserve bodies for their afterlife existence. The procedure began with the careful removal of the internal organs, which were treated separately and placed inside specially crafted canopic jars for protection.

The body was then covered with natron, a natural salt mixture used to dry and preserve it, preventing decay over a period of around forty days. The body reached the next step after the first stage finished when workers wrapped it in multiple layers of linen bandages. The workers placed protective amulets and sacred spells among the wrappings while they used oils and resins to preserve the linen and protect the body.

The final stage of the process involved placing the prepared mummy inside a tomb together with funerary masks and sacred objects which people thought were necessary for afterlife travel. The Egyptians people established this intricate procedure because they possessed extensive scientific knowledge while they maintained their strong belief in life after death.
