During the 19th and 20th centuries, the world was starting to develop interest for embalming. This all started when tombs of Egypt were discovered to hold bodies that were so well preserved despite the lack of technology in the ancient times. Soon, people start having a dream that seemed quite wild: revisiting the idea of mummification-of course, with the addition of new technology.

The most famous two modern mummies are Vladimir llyich Lenin, pioneer Russian revolutionist who created the Soviet Union, and Eva Peron, the much adored and worshipped wife of former Argentinean president Juan Peron. The death of Lenin coincided with the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb, which inspired the Soviet government to preserve Lenin's body. The exact chemicals utilized are still a secret of the Russian government, but all the embalmers generally know the method.

Eva Peron was preserved by an enhanced embalming treatment that was superior to Lenin's. The body fluids were all replaced by wax, making Eva Peron look like a wax statue. The body was so well preserved that many who set eyes on her body would think that she was asleep.
