Imagine finding the body of a person who has been dead for hundreds or even thousands of years. Yet instead of seeing a corpse that has rotted away, you see a body that looks almost as if it were still alive. How is that possible? The dead person was turned into a mummy!
How and why are people made into mummies? You'll find out as you explore 11 true tales of mummies from around the world. Among them are 7,000-year-old mummies who were welcomed into people's homes, a 3,000-year-old mummy who is said to have put a curse on those who unearthed it, and a modern mummy who people line up to see-while they still have the chance.
