"The bodies were usually buried in the pre-dynastic era, naked and sometimes wrapped without tightening.

This means that the body was dried and preserved naturally, and this method was used on a scale It is widespread in the pre-dynastic era before the development of artificial embalming, and the process of natural embalming may have led to burial in dry sand in this way to start believing in resurrection after death and the age of the habit of leaving food and tools for other life.
"All the dead bodies were in similar, flexible positions, sleeping on their left side, with their knees raised to the top of their chin."
