Frequently asked
How long did the mummy wrapping process take?
The complete mummification process took about 70 days total, but the actual wrapping portion required several days of careful work. Priests wrapped bodies in hundreds of yards of linen strips, adding protective amulets between the layers.
What materials were used to wrap mummies?
Ancient Egyptians used fine linen bandages, tree resin, natron salt, and aromatic oils. The linen came from flax plants and was often torn from old clothing or bed sheets, making mummification a recycling process.
