What are mummies?
Mummies are bodies that have been preserved. The most famous ones are the one of ancient Egypt, which this website focuses on. The pharaohs were mummified and put in tombs that had huge amounts of treasure in them, and the tombs were in giant pyramids! Because of this, robbers often stole the treasure. They also would destroy the mummy, looking for precious items. Because of this, intact mummies and tombs are rare.
