    derived from medieval Latin mumia, a borrowing of the medieval Arabic word mmiya ()and from a Persian word mm (wax)[citation needed], which meant an embalmed corpse, and abituminous embalming substance, and also meant "bitumen".[4] (See also: Mummia.) Themedieval Latin and medieval English had the same meaning as the medieval Arabic. Themeaning of "corpse preserved by desiccation" developed post-medievally. In English "mummy" asa term for a "medical preparation of the substance of mummies" is recorded from c. 1400, earlierthan the sense of a complete body, with Richard Hakluyt in 1599 complaining that "these deadbodies are the Mummy which the Phisistians and Apothecaries doe against our willes make us toswallow".[5]n addition to the well-known mummies of Ancient Egypt, deliberate mummificationwas a feature of several ancient cultures in areas of South America and Asia which have very dryclimates. There are more than 1000 mummies in Xinjiang, China.[citation needed] The oldest-known deliberate mummy is a child, one of the Chinchorro mummies found in the CamaronesValley, Chile, and dates from around 5050 BC.[3]Mummies of humans and other animals havebeen found all around the world, both as a result of natural preservation through unusualconditions, and as cultural artifacts. Over one million animal mummies have been found in Egypt,many of which are cats.[1] The oldest known naturally mummified human corpse is a severedhead dated as 6,000 years old, found in 1936 at the site named Inca Cueva No. 4 in South

    America.[2]A mummy is a deceased human or animal whose skin and organs have beenpreserved by either intentional or incidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold (ice mummies),very low humidity, or lack of air when bodies are submerged in bogs, so that the recovered bodywill not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. Some authorities restrict the use of theterm to bodies deliberately embalmed with chemicals, but the use of the word to coveraccidentally desiccated bodies goes back at least to the 1730s.Tallowed the ability to stack withease for voyages.
