In ancient Egypt, the pharaohs and their retinue were not the only ones to consign their bodies to mummification after death. Mummification was chosen by everyone who could afford it, because ancient Egyptians believed the process was the path to eternal life.
They also mummified animals by the millions: falcons, baboons, crocodiles, and many other creatures – pushing some species to the brink of extinction.
Why?
