What are the mummies of Egypt

A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. The ancient Egyptians believed that they would need their bodies again in their next life. So when a person died, they did not burn or bury the body. Instead, the brain was removed, and the other organs were packed in salt. The body itself was covered with special oils, wrapped in bandages, and placed in a body-shaped coffin. It took 70 days to prepare a mummy. The mummy was then buried in a tomb, along with rich food and fine jewels, for the Egyptians believed that they would all be needed in the voyage into the next life. Mummies can be seen in many museums across the world. Many stories and movies have been made about the mumies. no that is totally wrong look it up in the dictornary stupid!
