The following details are necessary for mummification processes:

1) Lack of access to oxygen and an abundance of water.

2) The presence of water in the soil with a high content of lime (the pH value is much higher than 7); in this case, the dead bodies seem to be petrified.

3) The influence of the action of dry air, due to which the drying out, or mummification, of the corpse occurs, since dry wind interferes with the activity of living microorganisms or stops it.
