Egyptian mummification was a funerary process in which the organs of the dead were removed and the body wrapped in strips of linen cloth. The process was done to ease the path to the afterlife for ancient Egyptians, but also had the secondary effect of preserving the dead with astonishing success, which allows scientists and historians to discern very much about the lives of these ancient humans.

At the Mummification Museum in Luxor City, visitors can see both human and animal mummies, tools used for the process of mummifying the dead, and even some of the items commonly buried with the dead.
