Question

how was the mummification done

Answer 1

The ancient Egyptians developed a sophisticated method to preserve a dead body for the afterlife: mummification. First, the internal organs were removed and all moisture from the body was eliminated. Next, the body was wrapped with long strips of linen, and then covered with a large linen cloth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mummification and fossilization are both types of preservation of organic matter. Mummification is the process of preserving the tissues and organs of the dead organism or human corpse by various chemical and thermal processes. Fossilization is a process where dead organisms are preserved over rocks. In fossilization, only the hard body parts like the bones, teeth are preserved. The organic matter of the dead animal is replaced by inorganic matter over the years and gets settled over rocks. Mummies can later become fossils. Both mummification and fossilization apply freezing temperatures to preserve the dead organic tissues. They also employ the method of removal of moisture from the dead organism to dry them and to preserve for a longer period and does not allow microorganisms to infect.
