Photos show 10 mummified crocodiles found in an Egyptian tomb, likely after being sacrificed

No slaughter marks have been found on crocodiles, but ropes found on the remains suggest these fairly large crocodiles — the biggest being 3.6m long — were bound up until their death.

But this was a fairly primitive form of mummification. The animals were not preserved with resin and internal organs were not removed. They were simply buried whole and left to naturally mummify in the hot sand. "If you want to ask something to the god, the line between you and them was the animal mummy," said Jiménez-Serrano.
