What have modern scientists learned about ancient Egyptians by studying mummies

Scientists have learned some very important things from studying mummies. First, from mummies, we can understand preservation. Preservation techniques are now applied to foods and beverages because adding preservative chemicals give them a longer shelf life, so they won’t spoil too quickly. Mummies also tell us about the Ancient Egyptian spirituality. There are many decorations of jewels and writing on the tape of the mummies that serve special religious purposes. Also scientists can figure out by some physical clues on the body the gender, what he or she ate, how the person died, the person’s relative place in society, when the person died, and about how long ago did the person live.
