Basing on mummified remains from the Theban Tomb 23 (Luxor) peculiarities of embalming dead bodies in Ancient Egypt are studied. Connection between the way of cleaning cavities and specifics of using embalming solutions for treatment of them and skin of the deceased is traced. Correlation of these three features might indicate social status of people buried on the necropolis.
