Best Answer

When a person or animal dies, bacteria on the body causes it to decompose, eventually leaving just the skeleton behind. But sometimes, if the conditions are just right, a body will be mummified instead. A mummy is any dead body where the fleshy parts have been somehow preserved.Ancient mummies do not decay because they have been preserved.The blackened corpses were mistakenly credited to the use of bitumen in the embalming process.Not all mummies come from Egypt and are wrapped. In fact, mummies come from all over the world and have been found on every continent.
