Frequently asked
How long did the Egyptian mummification process take?
The complete mummification process took about 70 days. The body was dried in salt for 40 days, then wrapped and prepared for burial over the remaining 30 days, creating a perfectly preserved mummy.
Why did ancient Egyptians remove the brain during mummification?
Egyptians believed the heart, not the brain, controlled thoughts and emotions. They removed the brain through the nose using a long hook, considering it unimportant for the afterlife journey.
