Excavations have revealed that demand for these sacred gifts was high.
About 30 vast catacombs have been discovered in Egypt, packed from floor to ceiling with millions of mummies. Each tomb is dedicated to a single creature, such as dogs, cats, crocodiles, ibis and monkeys.
Scientists estimate that up 70 million animals may have been mummified by the Egyptians.
"The scale of animal mummification between about 800 BC and into the Roman period was huge," said Dr Price.
