The mummy of a doll from Peru was analyzed by high-tech instruments, and it was found that he was only a child of 10 years old and died of malnutrition, vitamin D deficiency and pneumonia. In addition, the mummy family from Hungary has also attracted attention. Scientists confirmed that mothers, fathers and children were infected with tuberculosis that ravaged Europe at that time.
Egyptians believe that if the body can be preserved after death, it can be "eternal life", so many "important people" are mummified after death. For thousands of years, archaeologists have found many mummies in ancient tombs, the oldest of which has a history of more than 4200 years. When the Egyptians made mummies, they first took out part of the brain marrow from the nostrils of the dead body with iron hooks and injected some drugs into the brain for cleaning. Then use a sharp stone knife to cut a hole in the side abdomen, take out the internal organs completely, clean the abdomen, fill it with coconut milk wine and mashed spices, and sew it as it is. After this step is completed, the body is put into baking soda powder for 70 days, then it is washed, wrapped with linen bandage from head to toe, and coated with gum commonly used in Egypt instead of ordinary glue, and then the body is handed over to relatives, who put it in a special humanoid wooden box and keep it in the tomb, standing upright against the wall.
