Beginning about 2000 BC, funerary masks on some mummies were extended to cover the entire figure, creating an inner coffin in the form of a human body. By about 1200 BC, mummies frequently rested in several coffins nested together. A chariot whip was found in this burial, identifying the profession of the deceased.
