A mummy is a  corpse  which skin and organs have been intentionally or accidentlly preserved by exposure to chemicals, extreme cold (ice mummies), and very low humidity and so on. Currently, the oldest(naturally) discovered mummified human corps was a decapitated head, about 6000 yeares old, found in 1936. The most famous mummies are the Egyptian ones, especially the pharaohs, Tutancâmon, Seti I and Ramses II, although the first know Egyptian mummy, nicknamed "Ginger", dates back to about 3300 b.c.
Human mummies of other animals have been found all over the world, both as a result of natural presevention through unusual circumstances, and through the use of cultural artifacts to preserve the dead; For example, there are more than 1000 mummies preserved by the dry climate in Xinjiang in China, and more than one million mummies of animals have been found in Egypt, many of which are cats.

The Egyptians created mummification because for the Egyptians a person has six different parts:
- the body
- the Ba or the personality
- a Ka or the spirit of life
- teh Akh or the immortal soul
- your name
- their shadow
If one lost one of these things, it was not complete, so because of that they created the process of mummifiication so that the person would be complete for the other world because they believed in the afterlife.

The ritual to make mummies was quite peculiar because they believed that after the mummication people would go to the "atfter life" and because of their beliefes they dedicated about three months to the ritual;
The ritual consisted in:
- First they took out all the organs except the heart
- Then the body was covered in salt and let it be for forty days to take out the water of the body;
- After the dehydration oils were aplied to keep the body without decomposing;
- They they aplied resin and linen around the body, many layers were aplied and between them were objects of value and offers to the gods;
- To finish the ritual they put a mantle covering the body where they wrote some manuscripts;
- While they were doing all this process they were also praying to their different gods;
