The Mummification Process

The ancient Egyptians developed a sophisticated method to preserve a dead body for the afterlife: mummification. Follow the steps of the mummification process in this short animation about the Getty Museum's Romano-Egyptian mummy Herakleides.

For your information, don't be afraid to see this animation because the removal of the internal organs is displayed as virtually disappearing without the hook through the nose procedure.
