Overview

The British Museum has the most Egyptian artifacts outside of Egypt. With that the artifacts also include 8 real mummies. The history of making mummies starts around 3500 B.C. Egyptians believed that death was not the end of their life but a transition from one state to another. So they believed the body had to be preserved in order to be recognized when the Egyptian eventually awoke from the tomb. The art of mummification was done in Egypt until 30 B.C.
