MUMMIFICATION

MUMMIFICATION.

The Ancient Egyptians developed a method of preserving bodies so they would remain lifelike.

Today we call this process mummification.

The process included embalming the bodies and wrapping them in strips of linen.

Eliciting our children to Egypt, The Land of the Nile and its cultural heritage from the time of the Pharaohs.
