What do you think Egyptians learned about the human body by embalming?
They learned what was inside. They also learned that internal organs caused the dead body to decay much quicker, so they always quickly removed them and put them in separate jars.

What are three ways a body can be mummified?
Bodies can be mummified in the Egyptian tradition by taking out the internal organs (which the Egyptians stored separately in jars) and letting the body dry out. A more modern technique is to saturate the body with formaldehyde, which is a powerful preservative (but also very toxic and carcinogenic, so while you can preserve bodies with it, you would not preserve food with it). An even more sophisticated technique is to freeze dry the body. In a vacuum, it will lose moisture even at low temperature, so you can dry it out while it is too cold to decay.
Could a woman who lived fifteen thousand years ago found frozen in a glacier be considered a fossil?
No. The ice would have preserved her body, "locking" her in her fleshy state, mummifying her naturally. The woman would be mummified, not fossilised. Also, fossils are found in rocks - glaciers are made of ice.

The second step was to make an incision on the left side of the body near the stomach and remove all internal organs. The organs were packed in natron to dry. Next the dried organs were placed inside of canopic jars that would be placed in the tomb with the body, except for the heart, which was placed inside of the body. The body was washed with wine and spices, then the body was also packed with natron and dried. After forty days, the body was packed with linen or sand so that it would retain it's human-like shape. Then the body was wrapped in bandages, with amulets and spices. Then the body was placed inside of a sarcophagus and into the tomb. The whole process took about three months to complete.
