The mummified bodies of ancient Egyptians, particularly those of pharaohs and elite individuals, were preserved through a detailed embalming process aimed at ensuring their safe passage to the afterlife. This involved removing internal organs, treating the body with natron (a natural salt), and wrapping it in linen. The practice was rooted in their beliefs about immortality and the importance of the body in the afterlife. Other cultures, such as the Incas and certain Indigenous peoples, also practiced mummification for similar spiritual reasons.
