Mummies and the Mummification process
Mummification, an ancient Egyptian funerary practice that dates back over 3,000 years, was a carefully orchestrated process with deep religious and cultural significance. It aimed to preserve the body for the afterlife and facilitate the soul's journey to the realm of the dead. This complex procedure began with the extraction of internal organs, save for the heart, which was believed to be the repository of an individual's soul and identity.
