Woah! That is super interesting. Appreciate the information. The environment makes a lot of sense when it comes to preservation. Thanks dude!! :D

Sure, pulling out the major organs so they don't rot and foul the corpse and contribute to decomposition right off the bat? Yeah, that helps. But the real staying power of Egyptian Mummification was the natural desert environment of Egypt, not being Mummified. We also find excellently and comparably preserved mummies in the highlands of Peru -- in the Atacama Desert. If the Mongols had practiced entombment and burial instead of exposing corpses to the sky and letting birds of carrion devour them, then all around the Gobi Desert you would find more wonderful mummies preserved. The lack of moisture means the bacteria for composition can't really live long. The only better places for funeral preservation are areas with no oxygen, like the bottom of English peat bogs where Bog Mummies are found, and, much more recently, the debris field at the bottom of the ocean surrounding the wreck of the Titanic. Robert Ballard and an international consortium of marine anthropologists came to an agreement after some of the debris field was explored. It was determined that the debris field under the Titanic's ocean grave was in a stable anaerobic field - no oxygen. When they brought up a silver serving trencher that was sticking half up out of the seabed, they found perfectly preserved chicken still on the bones for the bits that were buried, and detected no rot because there was no oxygen in the field. Which meant that any of the victims who had been caught in the downdraft or died near the surface and were exposed to the pressure changes on the way down may have been buried in the debris field and perfectly preserved with no rot or loss of soft tissue. So the international scientists agreed to not excavate the debris field until a century after the next-of-kin and immediate-descendants of all of the Titanic victims had passed away, so no one would be subjected to having Aunt Mabel recovered from the sea floor looking the same age and condition as when she sank. Just a way to underscore -- it's not superior mortuary preparation -- it's the environment where the bodies were buried. :)
