The embalming in history

Embalming is a set of techniques designed to preserve a dead body or an animal body (taxidermy) by decomposition.
Many times there is confusion between the terms Embalming and Mummification but we will explain well the difference immediately and begin by specifying that the name "Mummy" treated the bodies was given by the Greeks who, finding the bodies were naturally preserved in bitumen or asphalt, they've given this definition.

Embalming is instead the term used to define an artificial process to which it is subjected to a body to keep it intact.
