  1. A corpse that has been preserved either intentionally for burial, e.g. by the Egyptians, or unintentionally by the conditions to which the body is exposed, e.g. the bog bodies occasionally found in peat bogs in the UK. The word comes from the Latin word for bitumen, which was believed to be used in mummification by the Egyptians.
