The Ancient Egyptians had a very different idea about death than most people do today.
And the idea of mummification is (excuse the pun) wrapped up in so many modern ideas, that we can lose its real purpose.
Joining Anthony and Maddy today to take us through the gory details of mummifying a body, and explaining where the term 'mummy' even comes from, is Dr. Campbell Price, author and Egyptologist at University of Liverpool.
Edited by Tom Delargy. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
