A mummy is a body that was kept safe from rotting away, often wrapped in long strips of cloth. Egyptians made mummies because they believed the person would need their body in the next life.  \nTo get ready for that next life, the wrappers had to dry the body first. Long ago, hot desert sand dried bodies all by itself, but later Egyptians used a special salt called natron to dry them out. Then they wrapped the body in soft linen cloth, again and again, and the whole job took about 70 days!  \nAll that wrapping was only part of the work, because certain body parts were saved too. Egyptians put them in pretty containers called canopic jars, each with a carved lid shaped like an animal or a person. The lids kept watch, like little guards standing over the jars.  \nThose guarded jars sat quietly in tombs for thousands of years, waiting to be found. In 1922, a man named Howard Carter opened the tomb of a young king named Tutankhamun and found treasures of gold inside! Today scientists use special X-ray machines called CT scanners to peek inside a mummy without ever unwrapping it.  \nMummies of Ancient Egypt  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is a mummy?\u003Cbr>A.
