Such science remained one of the secrets of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, and we did not even know about it, except for what the Greek historian Herodotus told us. He recorded some mummification techniques during his visit to Egypt in the fifth century BC, but with the latest finds, we got more information about this science, especially when an American mission from the American University discovered cemetery No. 63 in the Valley of the Kings, where there were 8 coffins, including the remains of tools and materials for the mummification process, which It was used to preserve the mummy of the golden king Tutankhamun, which opened a big door for revealing his hidden secrets. Preserving bodies from decay and decay was one of the most important secrets of the ancient Egyptians, which they desperately kept as a secret. Visit the Valley of the Kings on day trips to Luxor or on day trips to Cairo if you book a trip to Luxor with a flight from Cairo or a 2-day trip to Luxor from Cairo. Throughout the history of Egypt, the Egyptians have always said that the spirit that left the body after death would return. And they didn't use artificial methods. Therefore, they were content to bury the dead in craters on the sandy desert ground, they were wrapped in several folds of linen or the skin of various animals, or in several branches. The inner intestine helped to save the body from spoilage and decomposition, as can be seen on bodies discovered and modern for the period between 8000 - 5000 BC. This method remained the natural preservation of the bodies unchanged until the beginning of the era of those families where they were decorated. The bodies are decorated with colored bracelets and wrapped in several successive folds of woven linen.
