Mummification occurred both intentionally and accidentally across various regions of the world. In Egypt, embalmers developed an intricate process to mummify bodies so that the deceased could survive in the afterlife. Other cultures also practiced intentional mummification through methods like starvation. Nature also led to accidental mummification when people died in conditions like tar pits, volcanic eruptions, or freezing temperatures that preserved their bodies. Mummies have provided insights into past cultures and biology.
