Ancient Egypt was located in the northeast of Africa (present-day Middle East), originally in the Nile valley, and did not reach the present Egyptian territory until its national strength became strong. It borders the Mediterranean Sea in the north, the Red Sea in the east, Nubia (now Ethiopia and Sudan) in the south and Libya in the west. Geographically, there are deserts on both sides of Egypt, and there are several dangerous beaches in the south, so it is difficult to communicate with the outside world.

In ancient Egypt, mummies were made by priests. In addition to mummifying corpses, priests must also make sacrifices to the gods and carve "sacred monuments" on the walls of Pharaoh's tombs, monuments and temples. Ancient Egyptians liked to put mummies in human coffins, and this coffin with mummies was buried in the grave. Archaeologists have unearthed many mummies all over Egypt today. These findings help us to understand the face and civilization of ancient Egyptians, and also help us to study the methods of ancient Egyptians to preserve corpses.
