When did ancient egyptians stop mummifying the dead?

They gave them an amulet, wraped them up, put there organs in organ jars, then precious items like for pharaohs gold, silver, other expensive items. ____________ Six predynastic mummies, refered to as the Gebelein predynastic mummies, were recovered in the Egyptian desert in the late 19th century, and were dated to around 3,300 bc. These mummies were naturally mummified though. This was due to the heat and salt content of the sand. Egyptians began to bury their dead in coffins to protect them from scavengers, but realised that the bodies did not preserve like the bodies that were buried in the sandy soil without a coffin. Egyptians then began to develop embalming processes to preserve the bodies. This is what we know today as mummification. This deliberate process probably began around the fourth and fifth dynasties, or around 2,600 bc. The practice of mummification in Egypt continued until well within the Roman era (30 bc - 364 ad). Some even suggest that mummification may have been practiced in Egypt up until as late as the 7th century ad. There were different processes used throughout this time, but the best preserved mummies are from the 18th to 20th dynasties (1570 bc - 1075 bc), which includes the mummy of Tutankhamen. Strangely enough, it was not just humans who were mummified. Egyptians also mummified thousands of animals including cats, horses, and birds.
