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.
Depending on how deep a coffin is buried, the body inside may be completely stripped of its tissue or flesh within 40 to 50 years. Bodies left unprotected from the elements will decompose to a skeletal state much sooner. However, it may take hundreds of years for bones to decompose entirely.epending on how deep a coffin is buried, the body inside may be completely stripped of its tissue or flesh within 40 to 50 years.
