Ancient Egypt has always been the subject of awe and mystery, both from Egyptians themselves and foreigners alike, unlike the pyramids, and countless monuments, there is something that attracts our attention more, and is undoubtedly "mummies", which seems to have countless secrets surrounded by them.

- Egyptian mummies carry a lot of mystery that is intriguing , there are a lot of mummies that have been discovered, and there are many of them also that are still being searched, a delegation has conducted a lot of studies on Egyptian mummies, but still carries with them many secrets that She's still waiting for answers.

- Mummies are mainly the bodies of dead organisms from a human or animal, which have been preserved from decomposition, either by natural climatic conditions, or by deliberate or unintentional exposure to certain chemicals.

- Mummies have been found in many places around the world, but ancient Egypt was the nucleus of the world in mummifying dead bodies and making mummies, so it is always attributed to the ancient pharaohs.

- The ancient Egyptians allocated huge tracts of land to bury their dead and they called it the "city of the dead" or "the funerary city" "Necropolises", which are huge tombs for the burial of the dead, where the bodies of the dead are mummified and buried in huge numbers.

- The reason for embalming the bodies of the dead in ancient Egypt is clear, which is because of their belief in the afterlife, resurrection and immortality, but in order for this to happen, the body of the deceased must be healthy, so that he can enter the hereafter and live as immortal as they thought.

- It was found that the mummy was wrapped in dozens of metres of linen to make the clothes of the deceased in his other eternal life. He was followed by spells and ritual before burial, and he buried with him food, drink and everything he would need to live a good life after death. The mummies were buried in the sprawling dry desert sands to absorb fluid from the body and dry it to keep skin, nails and hair away from the banks of the Nile where agriculture was.

- With the beginning of the era of dynasties in ancient Egypt, there had to be different funeral rituals and rituals for kings and princes, and it is clear that the Pharaohs and their families will not be buried as a public under the desert sands, where their bodies had to be placed in coffins, but in this way there was a problem , as putting their bodies in Wabet means not being exposed to the natural desert conditions that work on the natural embalming of the bodies, and thus the bodies of kings will decompose inside the coffins and will not of course achieve the condition of passage to the afterlife, and to solve this problem, had to resort to deliberate embalming with chemicals, which he excelled in The ancient Egyptians still have a lot of secrets.

- Interestingly, the ancient Egyptians also mumbled the bodies of animals and birds, such as cats, dogs and rams, most of which were sacred to the Pharaohs.

- The Egyptian mummies are not just coils of linen that damage the dead bodies only, it was extracted in the embalming of the brain from the opening of the nose and emptied the bowels of the abdomen and chest and the empty body was soaked in salt and dried. The dry skin was treated with a mixture of oils and resins (glues).

- Over time, not only were the kings of the Pharaohs mummified, but also extended to the rich families, but those who could not afford mummification resorted to natural embalming in the desert sands.
