The Egyptians have always said that the spirit that left the body at death will return. And they haven’t used artificial ways. That is why they were content to bury the dead in craters in the sandy land of the desert.
Visit the Valley of the kings during Luxor day tours, or during Cairo day trips if you book a Luxor trip by flight from Cairo or Luxor 2 days trip from Cairo.
Throughout the history of Egypt, the Egyptians have always said that the spirit that left the body by death will return. And they haven’t used artificial ways. That is why they were content to bury the dead in craters in the sandy land of the desert, They are wrapped in several folds of linen or skin of different animals or with some twigs.
You can see several examples of mummies at the mummies room inside the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, or the two mummies in the exhibition at the funerary collection of Yuya and Thuya on the second floor, even there is an area specialized for animal mummies as ancient Egyptians gave some animals special respect and some of them were considered to be gods in ancient Egypt.
