                  is a term that today is used to describe natural or
                  artificially preserved bodies, though traditionally the word
                  was used specifically to describe the bodies of ancient
                  Egyptians where dehydration of the tissues was used to prevent
                  putrefaction. The word is derived from the Persian or Arabic
                  word mumia (or mumiya), which means "pitch" or
                  "bitumen". It originally referred to a black,
                  asphalt-like substance, thought to have medicinal properties
                  and eagerly sought as a cure for many ailments, that oozed
                  from the "Mummy Mountain" in Persia.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2732C814-B311-40F0-8A85-297A0DD2115A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
