mummification was invented probably near the time of 12,000bc

Mummification, historically, was used first by the ancient Egyptians. These people did so because of the belief that the physical is tied to the spiritual, so a decayed corpse meant bad times in the afterlife.

Mummification is process that has been used by multiple cultures to preserve dead humans, and even animals, against decomposition. Archeological evidence suggests mummification dates back at least 5 millennia.
