The first step was to wash the body with good smelling palm-wine then rinse the body with water from the Nile. The second step was to take out the liver, lungs, stomach, brain, and intestines which are the first body parts to decompose and pack them in with natron. The heart was kept in, because it was the center of life and you would need it in the after world. The body is then covered with natron and after forty days they wash the body again. Then they cover it with oils, stuff it with dry things. Then they put oil on it and it is wrapped in linens. After they are put in the tomb the put in valuables of the Pharaohs in hope they would help them in the afterlife.
