Egyptian mummies can rot due to a combination of environmental factors and biological processes. Despite the ancient Egyptians' meticulous embalming techniques designed to preserve the body, factors such as moisture, temperature, and microbial activity can lead to decay over time. If the mummification process was not thorough or if the burial environment was not optimal, bacteria and fungi can thrive, contributing to the decomposition of organic materials. Additionally, exposure to air and fluctuating conditions can accelerate this deterioration.
