Claim: The best known embalming cache (a collection of material that was used by the ancient Egyptians in the mummification process ) is KV54, sometimes called the Embalming cache of Tutankhamun, discovered and excavated by Edward R. Ayrton in 1907.
Evidence: An embalming cache is a collection of material that was used by the ancient Egyptians in the mummification process and then buried either with or separately from the body. It is believed that because the materials had come in contact with the body, they had possibly absorbed part of it, and needed to be buried in order for the body to be complete in the afterlife. The best known embalming cache is KV54, sometimes called the Embalming cache of Tutankhamun, discovered and excavated by Edward R. Ayrton in 1907.
