After LifeFirst comes death, then comes the autopsy, embalming, a funeral, burial, decomposition, and who knows what else? Join us on the whirlwind journey of the next chapter!
Mummies provide an endless source of fascination for the living. The Victorians were even known for hosting mummy-unwrapping parties, so it's no wonder we still obsess over them today. The common conception of mummification involves a process where bodies are preserved to slow down decomposition: certain organs are removed (and often stored with the mummy); the body is wrapped in treated linen or bandages; and everything is placed in a sarcophagus. However, this isn't always the case.
Throughout 2021 we looked at pictures of mummies that differed from one another - some more traditional, and others not. The mummified remains of each person or animal tell a unique story about what events their life held - continuing on years later through photos.
