Why are there so few mummies left?
The answer to this question is a lot more dark and disturbing than you’d expect.
It’s estimated that more than 70 million people were mummified over the 3000 year time period where mummification was carried out in Egypt.
So this begs the question, where are all these mummies? Because apparently, in modern times, mummies seem to be quite rare.
