AI overview
A mummy is a preserved dead body—human or animal—whose soft tissues have survived through intentional chemical treatment or accidental exposure to extreme conditions like cold, dryness, or lack of air. Mummies matter because they provide rare direct evidence of how people and animals looked and lived in the past, offering insights that written records alone cannot supply.
