What would the egyptians do with the mummies body parts?
When mummifying a body, the Egyptians removed the brain to keep the body from decaying faster. The organs were eventually removed (with the exception of the heart) and stored in canopic jars, allowing the body to be more well-preserved as it rested. Occasionally embalmers would break the bone behind the nose, and break the brain into small pieces so it could be pulled out through the nasal passage. The embalmers would then fill the skull with thick plant-based resin or plant resin sawdust.

How do you find the mummy in sims 3 world adventures iPod?
Well, first you have to be in egypt. Then you have to go to the archealogical dig and play that game. At the end of the minigame it tells you if you have an artifact or no, then the mummy comes after you. But the thing is, the artifact thing is random, you never know when you get it. So it could be hours and hours of playing that minigame until you get an artifact. Hopefully not ^_^ hope I helped:)
