...ancient civilizations had no tradition of mummification. Also, at Karachi's National Museum, where the mummy was stored, fungus began to grow on the body. Still, given the humidity of Pakistan's southern port megacity, a moldy mummy was not inconceivable. Officials rushed to protect it in a sealed nitrogen chamber...
...Police have charged no one in the case, either for murder or forgery. So, for now, the body remains like a delicate patient on life support behind a locked door in a hermetically sealed glass chamber in the bowels of the National Museum, preserved by a steady stream of nitrogen.

Then your clammy corpse is transported to the CI facility in Clinton Township, MI, where your blood is replaced with increasing concentrations of, um, antifreeze. After washing out blood and "perfusing" with "cryoprotectant" the "dead" body is lowered to liquid nitrogen temperature over the course of two weeks to avoid macroscopic and microscopic cracks that occur if patients are cooled too quickly (I would hate to see those early, more crumbly patients). From here it's straight into your cold dark home, a holding tank with up to 15 other like...
