"It's almost as if, to read modern accounts, the mummification was botched, the ancient Egyptians didn't know what they were doing, and thus he wasn't well preserved," said Price.

The archaeological record suggests statues of gods were anointed with oils and perfumes. They were also sometimes wrapped in linens, so it could be the bandages were thought to confer some sort of divinity. "The physical preservation of the body was extremely important. There's no question of that," Stephen Buckley, an archaeologist and analytical chemist at the University of York, told Insider.But others, Buckley said, like Tuthmosis III, Tuthmosis IV, Amenhotep II, and Queen Tyi were mummified to look more"sleep-like," which suggests a closer concern with the physical body inside.
