Sarcophagus, Coffin. The term sarcophagus is derived from the Greek (lit. 'flesh-eater') to refer to the coffin in which the mummy was placed with the intention of protecting it.he mummy was often buried in more than one coffin, the outermost usually being rectangular and, certainly from the New Kingdom on, the innermost anthropoid. Famous examples are those of Tutankhamun, who was buried in a set of three nesting anthropoid coffins placed into a rectangular sarcophagus.
Left above ground the the main body cavities burst open and the tissues become liquefied after about a month or so. When buried six feet down, without a coffin, in ordinary soil, an unembalmed adult normally takes eight to twelve years to decompose to a skeleton. However if placed in a coffin the body can take many years longer, depending on type of wood used. For example a solid oak coffin will hughly slow down the process.
