n.
Body embalmed or preserved for burial in the manner of the ancient Egyptians.
The process varied from age to age in Egypt, but it always involved removing the internal organs, treating the body with resin, and wrapping it in linen bandages. (In later Egyptian times, the organs were replaced after treatment.) Among the many other peoples who practiced mummification were those of the Torres Strait , near Papua New Guinea, and the Incas .
