The process of covering a body with a chemical and wrapping it in strips of linen to preserve it is called?

The process of preserving a human or animal body with chemicals is called mummification. Mummies have been found on every continent, both as a result of natural mummification (extreme cold, low humidity, or lack of air) or deliberate mummification. The mummies of ancient Egypt are the most well known, but the practice flourished in South America and Asia as well. The oldest mummy is the body of a child found in the Camarones Valley of Chile, dated from around 5050 BCE.


Why did they stop making Mummies?

The egyptions stopped making mummies because first a fall they believed that if they will wrap the dead body with the white cloth and keep some belongings of that dead body like clothes ,cups in which they drink something so in a day or two that dead person will be alive but when scientists and acheologists reserched on that particular thing they found that the dead body eaten by the insects and then they told this thing to the people of egypt so they stopped making mummies.


Were mummies ever mummified alive?

No. On the off chance they were alive at the start of the mummification process, they certainly wouldn't have been at the end, since the lungs, liver, stomach and intestines were removed from the body and placed in separate "canopic jars". (This practice stopped later, because it was no longer necessary due to improvements in the embalming process. However, this process would have killed anyone subjected to it as well.)


Do mummies kill people?

no

What is the chemical formula of making mummy?

The process of making mummies involves different chemical reactions, but one key component is natron (a mixture of salts including sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate). Natron helps dry out the body and prevent decomposition. Other substances like resins may also be used for preservation. However, there isn't a single chemical formula for making mummies as the process is more complex and involves various substances and steps.
