I want to see a Mummy!

Do you want to see a mummy? Well you can! They put mummies on display in the Asaro Caves in Papua, New Guiena. Thousands of years ago Egyptians carved tombs near the Nile River. Later two brothers named Ahmad and Hussein found about 40 mummies in the tomb. To me that would scare me find about 40 mummies in a cave! I wouldn't really know what to do! Did you know that all living things decay after death at some point, I also forgot to tell you that a mummy is a dead body preserved or embalmed with the use of spices, gums bitumen or natron (which is a kind of salt). But that's just the scientific term.
