One of the primary religious practices of the Ancient Egyptians was preparing physical bodies for the journey to the afterlife. This highly developed process, perfected over centuries, preserved bodies for thousands of years.  Many of these bodies, discovered by archeologists and thieves, were taken out of Egypt and put in museums all over the world.  They have caught the attention of the public and have been the source of many horror stories.  Learn more about mummies, why they were made, how they were created, and their perception in popular culture on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
