The Mummification Process

First, the body is taken to the Place

of Purification. The Embalmers,
wash the body with good-smelling
palm wine and then rinse them
with the Nile from the river.
Then, one of the embalmers cuts
into the body from the left side
and removes all of the internal
organs. It is very important to
remove these at the beginning of
the process because this is the
first part of the body to
decompose.
All of the internal
organs are then
washed and
wrapped in natron
Next, the body is covered with
natron and then stuffed which will
dry it out.

All of the fluids, and rags from

the embalming process will be
saved and buried along with
the body.
The dehydrated internal organs are
wrapped in linen and returned to the
body.
The body is stuffed with dry
materials such as sawdust, leaves
and linen so that it looks lifelike.
Finally the body is covered again
with good-smelling oils. It is now
ready to be wrapped in linen.
