Describe the Process of mummification
The liver, lungs, stomach, brain, and intestines are removed from the body. They are placed in special jars inside the tomb. The body is covered in salt to remove all water from the body to help preservation. Then they wrap the body from head to toe. Between the layers of wrapping, amulets are placed to protect the body during its journey to the afterlife. A priest also reads prayers out loud during the wrapping process to ward off evil spirits during its journey. A mask is placed over the head, body, and shoulders.
The entire process takes about 70 days. The mummy is sealed in a case and placed inside a tomb in the pyramid.
