contemporary mummification

Principally, the process of mummification involves the desiccation of the body, thus differing from embalming, which substitutes bodily fluids for substances that slow down the process of decomposition. The ancient Egyptians perfected their technique over many hundreds of years. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Mummification, Contemporary]
