The earliest deliberate mummies (as in, not created naturally due to where the bodies were buried) began as early as about 3400 BCE, which is 1500 years earlier than previously thought. By 2600 BCE (when scientists originally thought mummification started) embalmers were able to achieve "true mummification" by different techniques of preservation in minerals and oils.
