Thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians sent society’s wealthiest and most prominent members into the afterlife in style.

The tombs of various pharaohs, councilmen, and other important figures have been slowly unearthed over the years. Some have been surrounded by artifacts and wealth, but the truly fascinating part of their graves have been the fantastically preserved bodies themselves—which, in the case of a newly unearthed tomb, are sometimes discovered by the dozens.
