     • The earliest mummies from prehistoric times probably were accidental. By chance, dry sand and air (since Egypt has almost no measurable rainfall) preserved some bodies buried in shallow pits dug into the sand. About 2600 BCE, during the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties, Egyptians probably began to mummify the dead intentionally.

   Is mummies the real story a good show?

   • Mummies: The Real Story! This is a very good video. This program aired on TLC and I believe the Discovery Channel a few years ago. I think that this program is a very interesting and informal one and it is narrated excellently by Brenden Fraser.

   How did mummies get mummified?

   • Some mummies happened by accident. Take, for instance, the Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato, a collection of over 100 mummies found buried in above-ground crypts in Mexico. Those bodies weren’t mummified on purpose. It’s thought either extreme heat or the area’s rich geological stores of sulfur and other minerals spurred the mummification process.

   Which mummy is the most famous in modern history?

   • Perhaps the best-known mummy in modern history is King Tutankhamun, commonly known as King Tut. His tomb and mummified body were discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter. It was an exhilarating find yet destined to be overshadowed by several unexplained deaths. According to folklore, disturbing a mummy’s tomb leads to death.

   When did Egyptians mummify the dead?

   • About 2600 BCE, during the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties, Egyptians probably began to mummify the dead intentionally. The practice continued and developed for well over 2,000 years, into the Roman Period (ca. 30 BCE–CE 364). Within any one period the quality of the mummification varied, depending on the price paid for it.
