Ancient Egyptian Mummification Process

He wrote down some methods of mummification during his visit to Egypt in the fifth century B.C, but with the recent findings, we have increased information about that science, especially when the American mission from The American University discovered the Cemetery No. 63 in the Valley of the Kings, which contained 8 coffins, including remnants of tools and materials for the mummification process, which was used to preserve the mummy of the golden King Tutankhamen, which opened a big door to reveal his hidden secrets. The preservation of bodies from decay and decomposition was one of the most important mysteries of the ancient Egyptians, which they desperately kept as a secret.

This method remained the natural preservation of the bodies unchanged to the beginning of the era of the families where they have been on the decorating. The bodies are decorated with colored bracelets and wrapped in several successive folds of woven linen.
