ace bandages.
Bandages depending on whether the dead person's family could afford it.
Linen bandages!not toilet tissue
so they dont get cold
they wrapped the mummy in some sort of linen cloth
They were wrapped in linen bandages, placed in a wooden sarchophagus inside a stone one.
The monster usually wrapped in bandages is the Mummy. Originating from ancient Egypt, mummies are typically depicted as preserved corpses wrapped in linen bandages, often associated with curses and tomb raiding. In popular culture, they are portrayed as undead beings that awaken from their slumber to seek revenge or reclaim their lost treasures.
Mummies were wrapped in bandages because then only could the body be properly preserved. Also because the body was not to be seen by others besides the person or people that are mummifying the body.
The embalmers made a mask to protect the mummies face but it is first wrapped with yards of linen cloth and bandages along its body.
