But these represent only a fraction of the untold millions of mummies that have been created. Though many mummies have disentegrated or been destroyed, more than 500 million may still be preserved in undiscovered tombs and burial places in Egypt alone.

Learning Family in Egypt
http://www.learningfamily.net/reiser/9901-act/010egypt.htm
We headed to Cairo originally thinking of Egypt as little more than pyramids and King Tut; perhaps a pretty common image held my many. Boy, were we wrong! The history of Egypt is complex, and the vast period of time is hard to imagine. In the United States, we think of things being old when they are 150-200 years old. In Europe, Old is 500-1000 years old, or up to 2000 years. But Egypt has a rich history and culture that began over 5000 years ago!
