The embalming process is two steps: first embalming fluid is pumped into main vessels of the body, which in turn displace the blood. This is done at four points: the femoral arteries and the radial arteries or sometimes the carotid arteries. Next the embalmer, using a trocar - a long tube with a sharp pointed end, aspirates all of the internal organs to rid them of gasses and fluids, and replaces the abdominal cavity with embalming fluid. The cavity fluid is then aspirated and the hole that's left from the trocar is plugged up with a stopper. If the body has been autopsied, a preservative compound is used and the incisions made by the medical examiner are stitched together using a thick mortuary twine. The body is then dressed, casketed, and cosmetized. In some cases the face is re-sculptured using plastic compounds and putty. In

What did Egyptians embalm?
Your question isn't really clear. Ancient Egyptians embalmed when somebody died. If you mean WHY did they embalm, they did it because they wanted to prepare the dead for the afterlife. If you mean HOW did they embalm, they cut the organs out of the body, but for the brains they stuck a red-hot poker up the nostrils of the dead, and pulled the brains out through the nostrils. The organs were taken and put in canopic jars, so the dead would have access to them in the afterlife. Hope I helped!
