5 questions in mummies

Imagine you were a Archaeologist searching for the possible site of where an important mummy may lie, what questions must you ask yourself to maybe see if the sight location is possible for mummies:
  1. If the climate arid? Often easy to preserve bodies in a climate that is arid.
  2. Does the religion practice embalming the corpse?
  3. Does the culture believe in the afterlife?
  4. Is the climate cold? Possible that a mummy was frozen beneath the ground.
  5. Is their any history of mummies found in this area?
  6. Particular weather patterns or ceremonies?
  7. A religious leader that I am able to talk to?
