Mummies

Amenophis III

Ask Amenophis:
  What parts of the body were removed before mummification?  
  Were animals mummified, too?  
  Why are mummies wrapped in bandages?  

Amenophis says:

 
 
Egyptians were a very happy and fun-loving people. They also drank a lot.

Mummies are first dried, then wrapped, to preserve the body.

The mummy's internal organs were removed and preserved separately.
