Egyptian Mummification Dates Back 6,000 YearsMummification is an indisputably ancient practice, but new evidence suggests it emerged even earlier than experts previously thought. Funerary textiles from Egypt's oldest-known cemeteries contain remnants of embalming substances, proof that mummification was being practiced as early as 4300 BCE, more than 1,500 years earlier than previously believed.

do you believe that mummies really exist? Is there any proof? I am just curious.
