They preserved mummies by taking out the insides and disposing the brain and then they cover the body with natron so that the body can dry out quicker and then they rub the body with spiritual oils . Next the make a mask for it that has the eyes part open and the mouth so that they can breathe and see in the afterlife.Then they rap the body and put it in the tomb with that person's insides,clothing,food and drinks and special charms and religious items.
