What does a mummy look like?
Mummies are mostly the same in appearance. Usually, mummies are covered with bandages from head to toe and then beautified with some jewelry and decorations. Usually put in a humanoid wooden coffin. Bandage is also to better preserve the body, and bandage can play a certain protective role.

Although many mummies have been preserved to this day, after removing the bandage, the skeleton is basically left. Without this bandage, there is no way to keep shape.

The process of mummification:

During the mummification in ancient Egypt, onions were sometimes used to fill body cavities, usually with artificial eyes. According to Egyptian legend, Osiris was the first mummy. The difference between mummies and bones is that mummies also have some soft tissues, such as hair, muscles or skin.

Egyptians made mummies out of a lot of flax. In medieval Europe, mummies were in great demand as medicine. For example, Europeans will cook a mummy and use this oil to treat bruises, stomachaches and countless other diseases.
