How long did mummifiecation take?

Answer 1

Mummification, i.e. embalming took about 70 days in the ancient Egypt. The body was embalmed to protect it from decay. The brain and internal organs were removed, apart from the heart.The organs were put into 4 canopic jars (interesting, that the brain, as useless, was thrown away). The body was dried by using a kind of salt called Natron. Then, the body was wrapped in layers of linen (some amulets were hidden between the layers) and a funeral mask was put on the dead's face. So, it was a difficult and long process made by the priests. Anubis was the god of embalming.
