How are natural mummies in the desert made?
Natural mummies in the desert are formed through a process called desiccation, where the hot, dry climate prevents decay. The arid conditions inhibit bacterial growth and the breakdown of organic material, allowing bodies to dry out rapidly. In addition, the lack of moisture helps preserve skin and other tissues, leading to the creation of mummies. This phenomenon is often observed in regions like the Atacama Desert in Chile and parts of Egypt.
