Hmm, must not have been Egypt, since they tore out the internal organs and put them in jars. Lots of mummies around the world, peat bogs, salt flat burials, freeze dried in the Himalayan mountains. So plenty of areas to study.

It depends on the definition of mummy. A body can be dried out/mummified by just being subjected to the dry aired climate in Egypt. The practice of mummification is a whole other thing.

Drinking a diet soft drink cancels out the bad in chocolate cake, right?

Life is hard as a mummy. Apparently, they have never found a living specimen

Four of the test five mummies came from South America and one had Middle Eastern origins with the youngest being 18 years old at death and the oldest between 55 and 60. The scientists placed catheters in the mummified arteries...
