University of Oxford<\/a> showed that the garment was about 5,500 years old, dating back to 3482-3102 BCE. It was then realized that it was, in fact, the oldest dress in the world.

However, the truth is that not every dead Egyptian was mummified, since mummification was a time-consuming and expensive process which only the super-rich could afford. When common people died in Egypt, they were buried in pits in the desert.
