There were four steps to complete the mummification process.

Step 1: They removed bits of brain through the nostrils with a hook and

spoons. They made a few incisions in the body to take out the stomach, theliver, the intestines, and the lungs.

Step 2: The entire body was stuffed with spices and balls of linen andthen covered with natron, which is a kind of salt. After a few weeks the

salt dissolved .

Step 3: After 30 to 40 days , they would remove the salt . The body wasrubbed with perfume, milk, and wine. Then the body was decorated with

jewellery and magic amulets. They also wrapped it in 20 layers of cloth .
