After embalming, the body can bloat and swell due to the breakdown of tissues and the accumulation of gases produced by bacteria during decomposition. The embalming process introduces fluids that can displace air and create pressure, leading to swelling. Additionally, if the embalming fluid is not effectively distributed, it can cause localized swelling in certain areas. These factors contribute to the post-embalming bloating effect.

How did the children of Israel bring Joseph's back to the Promise land?

The Egyptians embalmed their honored dead, and Joseph was embalmed after he died.

Today, dead people are often embalmed after they die so they can be transported a long distance from where they died to where they will be buried.
